ice: add profile conflict check for AVF FDIR

[ Upstream commit 29486b6d ]

Add profile conflict check while adding some FDIR rules to avoid
unexpected flow behavior, rules may have conflict including:
        IPv4 <---> {IPv4_UDP, IPv4_TCP, IPv4_SCTP}
        IPv6 <---> {IPv6_UDP, IPv6_TCP, IPv6_SCTP}

For example, when we create an FDIR rule for IPv4, this rule will work
on packets including IPv4, IPv4_UDP, IPv4_TCP and IPv4_SCTP. But if we
then create an FDIR rule for IPv4_UDP and then destroy it, the first
FDIR rule for IPv4 cannot work on pkt IPv4_UDP then.

To prevent this unexpected behavior, we add restriction in software
when creating FDIR rules by adding necessary profile conflict check.
