> This patch fixes a problem where the pf's fdir filter table would have an entry
> that the hw was unable to add. This notification happens in the hot path, so
> instead of trying to fix it then, we note the location in the failure case and
> delete it during regular fdir subtask callback. Without this patch, a case can
> occur where an invalid entry gets replayed and a valid one is not.
