    net/sfc: improve logging in MAE backend of flow API

    Errors detected during parsing of pattern items and actions
    are reflected by setting RTE error, but the name of the bad
    element is not disclosed, thus leaving the user to join the
    dots themselves. Adjust the code to log missing information.
