[dpdk-dev] net/bonding: avoid wrong casting on primary_slave_port_id from input param

primary_slave_port_id is uint16_t which needs to be correctly stored
with the same data type of input parameter in bond_ethdev_configure.

Fixes: f8244c6399 ("ethdev: increase port id range")

In powerpc, creating bond pmd results in below error due to wrong
cast on input param. This is reproducible, only when using shared
libraries.

Applied to dpdk-next-net/master, thanks.
