[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] common/sfc_efx/base: check for MAE privilege

[Ivan Malov <ivan.malov@oktetlabs.ru>]

VFs can't control MAE, so it's important to override the general
MAE capability bit by taking MAE privilege into account. Reorder
the code slightly to have the privileges queried before datapath
capabilities are discovered and add required MAE privilege check.
