igc: Reject NFC rules with multiple matches



The way Rx queue assignment based on mac address, Ethertype and VLAN
priority filtering operates in I225 doesn't allow us to properly support
NFC rules with multiple matches.

Consider the following example which assigns to queue 2 frames matching
the address MACADDR *and* Ethertype ETYPE.

$ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether dst <MACADDR> proto <ETYPE> queue 2

When such rule is applied, we have 2 unwanted behaviors:

    1) Any frame matching MACADDR will be assigned to queue 2. It
       doesn't matter the ETYPE value.

    2) Any accepted frame that has Ethertype equals to ETYPE, no matter
       the mac address, will be assigned to queue 2 as well.

In current code, multiple-match filters are accepted by the driver, even
though it doesn't support them properly. This patch adds a check for
multiple-match rules in igc_ethtool_is_nfc_rule_valid() so they are
rejected.
