Subject: [PATCH net 4/8] i40e: Fix overwriting flow control settings during driver loading

From: Mateusz Palczewski <mateusz.palczewski@...el.com>

During driver loading flow control settings were written to FW
using a variable which was always zero, since it was being set
only by ethtool. This behavior has been corrected and driver
no longer overwrites the default FW/NVM settings.

Fixes: 373149fc99a0 ("i40e: Decrease the scope of rtnl lock")
