net/flower: Introduce hardware offload support
This patch is based on a patch made by John Fastabend. It adds support for offloading cls_flower. when NETIF_F_HW_TC is on: flags = 0 => Rule will be processed twice - by hardware, and if still relevant, by software. flags = SKIP_HW => Rull will be processed by software only If hardware fail/not capabale to apply the rule, operation will NOT fail. Filter will be processed by SW only.
