Subject: [PATCH 4.9 34/42] IB/mlx5: Fix RSS Toeplitz setup to be aligned with the HW specification

From: Yishai Hadas <yishaih@...lanox.com>

commit b7165bd0d6cbb93732559be6ea8774653b204480 upstream.

The specification for the Toeplitz function doesn't require to set the key
explicitly to be symmetric. In case a symmetric functionality is required
a symmetric key can be simply used.

Wrongly forcing the algorithm to symmetric causes the wrong packet
distribution and a performance degradation.
