mlx4_core: Adjustments to Flow Steering activation logic for SR-IOV
Separate flow steering capability detection from the decision to activate. For the master (and for native), detect the flow steering capability in mlx4_dev_cap, but activate the appropriate steering type in a new function choose_flow_steering() based on detected data. For VFs, activate flow steering based on what was actually activated by the master, where that info is obtained via QUERY_HCA. This fixes the current VF detection which is wrongly based on QUERY_DEV_CAP. Also, for SR-IOV mode, if flow steering may be activated, do so only if the max number of QPs per rule is sufficient to satisfy one subscription per VF. If not, fall back to B0 mode. This is needed to serve registrations done by L2 network drivers such as mlx4_en and IPoIB when the network stack attempts to join to multicast groups such as all-hosts or the IPoIB broadcast group.
