virtio_net: Implement layer 2 ethtool flow rules

This patch adds ethtool flow rule support for ethernet headers,
implementing classifier and rule management via virtio admin commands.

                  ^^^^^^

If validate_classifier_selectors() fails, this jumps to err_key which
only frees key but not c. Should this be goto err_classifier instead,
to avoid leaking the struct virtnet_classifier allocation?
