There's inconsistency in how we check for the ops being present.
Here we check for get_rxnfc and the new callback.
But ethtool_set_rxfh() and ethtool_set_rxfh_indir() are only checking
for get_rxnfc. I suppose we can remove the explicit ops checks and
let ethtool_get_rx_ring_count() return EOPNOTSUPP?
