Subject: [PATCH RESEND iproute2] ip link set vf: Added "query_rss" command

Add a new option to toggle the ability of querying the RSS configuration of a specific VF.

VF RSS information like RSS hash key may be considered sensitive on some devices where
this information is shared between VF and PF and thus its querying may be prohibited by default.

This new option allows a system administrator with privileges to modify a PF state
to control if the above VF querying is allowed or not.

For example:
 To enable RSS querying of VF[0] of ethX:
 >> ip link set dev ethX vf 0 query_rss on
