> $ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether dst <MACADDR> action 1 loc 10
> $ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether dst <MACADDR> action 2 loc 10
> rmgr: Cannot insert RX class rule: File exists

> The second command is expected to overwrite the previous rule in location

> This patch fixes igc_ethtool_check_nfc_rule() so it also checks the
> rules location. In case they match, the rule under evaluation should not
> be considered invalid.
