Subject: [PATCH iwl-next v2] ixgbe: preserve RSS indirection table across admin down/up

Currently, the RSS indirection table configured by user via ethtool is
reinitialized to default values during interface resets (e.g., admin
down/up, MTU change). As for RSS hash key, commit 3dfbfc7ebb95 ("ixgbe:
Check for RSS key before setting value") made it persistent across
interface resets.

Adopt the same approach used in igc and igb drivers which reinitializes
the RSS indirection table only when the queue count changes. Since the
number of RETA entries can also change in ixgbe, let's make user
configuration persistent as long as both queue count and the number of
RETA entries remain unchanged.

Tested on Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network
Connection.

Test:
Set custom indirection table and check the value after interface down/up

  # ethtool --set-rxfh-indir ens5 equal 2
  # ethtool --show-rxfh-indir ens5 | head -5

  RX flow hash indirection table for ens5 with 12 RX ring(s):
      0:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
      8:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
     16:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
  # ip link set dev ens5 down && ip link set dev ens5 up

Without patch:
  # ethtool --show-rxfh-indir ens5 | head -5

  RX flow hash indirection table for ens5 with 12 RX ring(s):
      0:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
      8:      8     9    10    11     0     1     2     3
     16:      4     5     6     7     8     9    10    11

With patch:
  # ethtool --show-rxfh-indir ens5 | head -5

  RX flow hash indirection table for ens5 with 12 RX ring(s):
      0:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
      8:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
     16:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
