[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v2] i40e: Fix ATR queue selection

Without this patch, ATR does not work. Receive/transmit uses queue
selection based on SW DCB hashing method.

If traffic classes are not configured for PF, then use
netdev_pick_tx function for selecting queue for packet transmission.
Instead of calling i40e_swdcb_skb_tx_hash, call netdev_pick_tx,
which ensures that packet is transmitted/received from CPU that is
running the application.

Reproduction steps:
1. Load i40e driver
2. Map each MSI interrupt of i40e port for each CPU
3. Disable ntuple, enable ATR i.e.:
ethtool -K $interface ntuple off
ethtool --set-priv-flags $interface flow-director-atr
4. Run application that is generating traffic and is bound to a
single CPU, i.e.:
taskset -c 9 netperf -H 1.1.1.1 -t TCP_RR -l 10
5. Observe behavior:
Application's traffic should be restricted to the CPU provided in
taskset.
