qed: Prevent VF from Tx-switching 'promisc'
Internal loopback in driver is based on two things - first is the willingness of transmitter to use it [in case of VFs, this can be forced based on VEPA/VEB] and secondly on another vport classification configuration which should match the packet's destination. Current code allows non-linux VFs to configure a 'promisc' mode on Tx, meaning all traffic sent by VF would be loopbacked internally by firmware; This isn't considered a valid mode and as such should be prevented by PF.
