net/mlx5e: Clear Read-Only port buffer size in PBMC before update

When updating the PBMC register, we read its current value,
modify desired fields, then write it back.

The port_buffer_size field within PBMC is Read-Only (RO).
If this RO field contains a non-zero value when read,
attempting to write it back will cause the entire PBMC
register update to fail.

This commit ensures port_buffer_size is explicitly cleared
to zero after reading the PBMC register but before writing
back the modified value.
This allows updates to other fields in the PBMC register to succeed.
