[PATCH v2] net/ice: fix flow creation failure

[Dhanya Pillai]

In non-pipeline mode, priority is ignored, a flow rule can be created
as a flow director rule or a switch rule depends on its pattern/action.
Hence removing the priority field check from ice_fdir_parse which is
causing valid flow creation to return failure.
