[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH S15 02/15] i40e: use priv flags to control flow director

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg at intel.com>

Some customers wish to be able to control our hardware specific
feature called flow director, at runtime.  This patch enables
ethtool priv flags to control this driver/hardware specific feature.

ethtool --set-priv-flags ethX flow-director-atr off

NOTE: the ethtool ntuple interface controls the flow-director
      sideband rules.
