bnxt_en: Fix the resource check condition for RSS contexts
While creating a new RSS context, bnxt_rfs_capable() currently makes a strict check to see if the required VNICs are already available. If the current VNICs are not what is required, either too many or not enough, it will call the firmware to reserve the exact number required. There is a bug in the firmware when the driver tries to relinquish some reserved VNICs and RSS contexts. It will cause the default VNIC to lose its RSS configuration and cause receive packets to be placed incorrectly. Workaround this problem by skipping the resource reduction. The driver will not reduce the VNIC and RSS context reservations when a context is deleted. The resources will be available for use when new contexts are created later. Potentially, this workaround can cause us to run out of VNIC and RSS contexts if there are a lot of VF functions creating and deleting RSS contexts. In the future, we will conditionally disable this workaround when the firmware fix is available.
