ixgbe: Fix ATR so that it correctly handles IPv6 extension headers



The ATR code was assuming that it would be able to use tcp_hdr for
every TCP frame that came through.  However this isn't the case as it
is possible for a frame to arrive that is TCP but sent through something
like a raw socket.  As a result the driver was setting up bad filters in
which tcp_hdr was really pointing to the network header so the data was
all invalid.

In order to correct this I have added a bit of parsing logic that will
determine the TCP header location based off of the network header and
either the offset in the case of the IPv4 header, or a walk through the
IPv6 extension headers until it encounters the header that indicates
IPPROTO_TCP.  In addition I have added checks to verify that the lowest
protocol provided is recognized as IPv4 or IPv6 to help mitigate raw
sockets using ETH_P_ALL from having ATR applied to them.
