net/flower: Introduce hardware offload support
This patch is based on a patch made by John Fastabend.
It adds support for offloading cls_flower.
when NETIF_F_HW_TC is on:
flags = 0 => Rule will be processed twice - by hardware, and if
still relevant, by software.
flags = SKIP_HW => Rull will be processed by software only
If hardware fail/not capabale to apply the rule, operation will NOT
fail. Filter will be processed by SW only.
