Subject: [net-next v2 08/15] virtchnl: use u8 type for a field in the virtchnl_filter struct

From: Harshitha Ramamurthy <harshitha.ramamurthy@...el.com>

The virtchnl_filter struct has a field called field_flags. A previous
commit mistakenly had the type to be a __u8. What we want is for the
field to be an unsigned 8 bit value, so let's just use the existing
kernel type u8 for that.
