Two fixes for TC flower offload in the legacy switch mode. Both
address the same user visible failure, all traffic on a port silently
disappears after installing a filter chain that mixes offloadable and
non offloadable filters.
The first fix covers filters matching on ip_proto alone. The driver
never programmed the protocol lookup, so a filter like "ip_proto udp
action drop" was installed in hardware as a match on eth_type ipv4 and
dropped every IPv4 packet.
The second fix covers the interaction between software only filters and
offloaded drop filters. The E810 switch gives drop rules absolute
precedence over forwarding rules regardless of recipe priority, so a
lower priority drop offloaded into hardware overrides any higher
priority filter that stayed in software. The driver now tracks filters
it could not offload and refuses to offload a drop filter that would
bypass one of them, keeping the drop functional in software instead.
Tested on E810 with the OS default and comms DDP packages, including
the original reproducer from the report, L2TPv3 pass and drop chains
with and without session ID matching, and a shared block bound to two
PF ports.

v2:
- track one entry per cookie and filter_dev pair so a shared block
bound to multiple devices is protected on every binding, and the
delete path drops one entry per DESTROY invocation (sashiko review
via Simon Horman)

ice_parse_cls_flower() stores the ip_proto key from the flow rule but
never programs a matching lookup unless the filter also matches on L4
ports or the L2TPv3 session ID. A filter like:
tc filter add dev $pf ingress protocol ip flower skip_sw \
ip_proto udp action drop
is silently programmed into the hardware as a match on eth_type ipv4
alone and drops every IPv4 packet, not just UDP.
Program the IP protocol match through the protocol field of the IPv4
header lookup and the next header field of the IPv6 header lookup, the
same lookups that are already used for ToS and TTL. The OS default and
comms DDP packages provide no profile that extracts the IPv6 next
header word, so the IPv6 rule programming currently fails with
"Required profiles not found" and the filter falls back to software
evaluation instead of over-matching, and the offload starts working
with a DDP package that can extract it. Note that the lookup matches
the next header byte of the base IPv6 header, so packets carrying
extension headers are not matched in hardware and fall back to
software evaluation, which under-matches only for skip_sw filters.
GTP tunnel and PPPoE filters rewrite the parsed ethertype, the IP
header lookups are not available there, so reject an unconsumed
ip_proto for them instead of silently widening the match. Filters where
ip_proto is implied by an L4 ports or L2TPv3 session ID lookup are not
affected. Based on an earlier unapplied patch from Michal Swiatkowski
that implemented the IPv4 part [1].

The E810 switch gives drop rules absolute precedence over forwarding
rules regardless of recipe priority (verified on E810 in every
combination of installation order and match specificity). TC however
requires filters to be evaluated in priority order, so when a higher
priority filter stays software-only because its match or action cannot
be offloaded while a lower priority drop filter is offloaded, the
hardware drops packets the higher priority filter should have seen:
tc filter add dev $pf ingress prio 1 protocol ip flower \
ip_proto l2tp action pass
tc filter add dev $pf ingress prio 2 protocol ip flower action drop
The pass filter is rejected (unsupported action), the drop filter is
offloaded and the hardware drops all IPv4 traffic including the L2TP
packets the prio 1 filter should accept.
Track filters that were presented to the driver but not offloaded and
refuse to offload a drop filter when a higher priority filter on the
same device block and direction is software-only or is offloaded with a
forwarding action, which the hardware drop would equally override. The
refused drop filter keeps working in software. Filters are compared
only within one device block since TC priorities are not ordered across
blocks, and a shared block bound to multiple devices is tracked once
per binding. Filters with skip_sw bypass the check because the user
explicitly requested hardware-only operation and refusing would fail
the filter add entirely, and the tracking applies to the legacy switch
mode only, switchdev pipelines manage rule priorities themselves.
The check does not analyze match overlap, so it is conservative, and it
runs only at drop offload time. A conflicting filter installed after a
drop filter was already offloaded cannot un-offload it, and filters the
driver never saw (added while hw-tc-offload was off) are invisible to
it. Installing filters in priority order with offload enabled avoids
both.

v2:
- track one entry per cookie and filter_dev pair instead of one per
cookie, so a shared block bound to multiple devices of one PF is
protected on every binding and each DESTROY invocation removes its
own entry instead of returning -EINVAL for the later bindings
(sashiko review via Simon Horman)
- pass the filter device to ice_del_cls_flower() for the lookup above
