[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 5/5] ice: use element-by-element comparison for DCB config changes

Comparing two ice_dcbx_cfg structs with memcmp() is unreliable on
non-packed structs due to uninitialised padding bytes.  The HW DCB
path already has ice_dcb_need_recfg() that compares fields
individually; export it and use it in the SW DCB netlink setters
(setets, setpfc, setapp, cee_set_all) instead of the unsafe memcmp.

Remove the now-redundant memcmp check from ice_pf_dcb_cfg() so that
function always attempts the HW reconfiguration when called.
