From: Michael Baum <michae...@nvidia.com>
This patch changes the integrity item behavior for HW steering.
Old behavior: the "ipv4_csum_ok" checks only IPv4 checksum and "l3_ok"
checks everything is ok including IPv4 checksum.
New behavior: the "l3_ok" checks everything is ok excluding IPv4
checksum.
This change enables matching "l3_ok" in IPv6 packets since for IPv6
packets "ipv4_csum_ok" is always miss.
For SW steering the old behavior is kept as same as for L4 ok.
