ice: reject VF attempts to enable head writeback
The virtchnl interface provides a mechanism for a VF driver to request head writeback support. This feature is deprecated as of AVF 1.0, but older versions of a VF driver may still attempt to request the mode. Since the ice hardware does not support head writeback, we should not accept Tx queue configuration which attempts to enable it. Currently, the driver simply assumes that the headwb_enabled bit will never be set. If a VF driver does request head writeback, the configuration will return successfully, even though head writeback is not enabled. This leaves the VF driver in a non functional state since it is assuming to be operating in head writeback mode. Fix the PF driver to reject any attempt to setup headwb_enabled.
