Context 0 (default context) always exists, there is no need to check
whether it exists or not when adding a flow steering rule.
The existing check fails when creating a flow steering rule for context
0 as it is not stored in the rss_ctx xarray.
For example:
$ ethtool --config-ntuple eth2 flow-type tcp4 dst-ip 194.237.147.23 dst-port
19983 context 0 loc 618
rmgr: Cannot insert RX class rule: Invalid argument
Cannot insert classification rule
An example usecase for this could be:
- A high-priority rule (loc 0) directing specific port traffic to
context 0.
- A low-priority rule (loc 1) directing all other TCP traffic to context
1.
This is a user-visible regression that was caught in our testing
environment, it was not reported by a user yet.

don't exist")
