When not in isolated mode, internal flow rules are automatically maintained
by the PMD to receive traffic according to global device settings (MAC,
VLAN, promiscuous mode and so on).
Since RSS support was added to the mix, it must also check whether Rx queue
configuration has changed when refreshing flow rules to prevent the
following from happening:
- With a smaller number of Rx queues, traffic is implicitly dropped since
the existing RSS context cannot be re-applied.
- With a larger number of Rx queues, traffic remains balanced within the
original (smaller) set of queues.
One workaround before this commit was to temporarily enter/leave isolated
mode to make it regenerate internal flow rules.
Fixes: 7d8675956f57 ("net/mlx4: add RSS support outside flow API")
