My assumption was that if QED_ROCE_LL2_TX_DEST_MAX was used that the
packet would be dropped.

Turns out that QED_ROCE_LL2_TX_DEST_MAX isn't actually used anywhere in
the tree. I suppose that qed_roce_ll2_tx_dest could just be removed and
all other instances of those values could be converted to
qed_ll2_tx_dest like the rxe patch. I'll test this now and send a patch
along if it works out.
