[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH next-queue 1/2] ixgbe: disallow ipsec tx offload when in sr-iov mode

[Shannon Nelson]

There seems to be a problem in the x540's internal switch wherein if SR/IOV
mode is enabled and an offloaded IPsec packet is sent to a local VF,
the packet is silently dropped.  This might never be a problem as it is
somewhat a corner case, but if someone happens to be using IPsec offload
from the PF to a VF that just happens to get migrated to the local box,
communication will mysteriously fail.

Not good.

A simple way to protect from this is to simply not allow any IPsec offloads
for outgoing packets when num_vfs != 0.  This doesn't help any offloads that
were created before SR/IOV was enabled, but we'll get to that later.
