Subject: [PATCH net 1/6] net/mlx4_core: Disable mlx4_QP_ATTACH calls from guests if the host uses flow steering

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@....mellanox.co.il>

Guests kernels may not correctly detect if DMFS (device-enabled flow steering) is
activated by the host. If DMFS is activated, the master should return error to guests
which try to use the B0-steering flow calls (mlx4_QP_ATTACH).
