net: ena: Use bitmask to indicate packet redirection



Redirecting packets with XDP Redirect is done in two phases:
1. A packet is passed by the driver to the kernel using
   xdp_do_redirect().
2. After finishing polling for new packets the driver lets the kernel
   know that it can now process the redirected packet using
   xdp_do_flush_map().
   The packets' redirection is handled in the napi context of the
   queue that called xdp_do_redirect()

To avoid calling xdp_do_flush_map() each time the driver first checks
whether any packets were redirected, using
	xdp_flags |= xdp_verdict;
and
	if (xdp_flags & XDP_REDIRECT)
	    xdp_do_flush_map()

essentially treating XDP instructions as a bitmask, which isn't the case:
    enum xdp_action {
	    XDP_ABORTED = 0,
	    XDP_DROP,
	    XDP_PASS,
	    XDP_TX,
	    XDP_REDIRECT,
    };

Given the current possible values of xdp_action, the current design
doesn't have a bug (since XDP_REDIRECT = 100b), but it is still
flawed.

This patch makes the driver use a bitmask instead, to avoid future
issues.
