i40e: don't allow reduction of channels below active FD rules
If a driver is unable to maintain all current user supplied settings from ethtool (or other sources), it is not ok for a user request to succeed and silently trample over previous configuration. To that end, if you change the number of channels, it must not be allowed to reduce the number of channels (queues) below the current flow director filter rules targets. In this case, return -EINVAL when a request to reduce the number of channels would do so. In addition log a warning to the kernel buffer explaining why we failed, and report the rules which prevent us from lowering the number of channels.
