[PATCH v4] net/mlx5: reject negative integrity item configuration

[Gregory Etelson <getelson@nvidia.com>]

From: Raja Zidane <rzidane@nvidia.com>

Negative integrity item refers to condition when the item value mask
is set, but value spec is cleared:
    ... integrity value mask l4_ok value spec 0 ...

RTE library defines integrity bits `l3_ok` and `l4_ok` as accumulators
for all hardware L3 and L4 integrity verifications respectfully.
Hardware `l3_ok` and `l4_ok` integrity bits refer to L3 and L4
network headers only.
Integrity bits `l3_ok` and `l4_ok` are not compatible between RTE
library and hardware.

PMD translations for RTE `l3_ok` are:
 IPv4: `l3_ok` and `l3_csum_ok`
 IPv6: `l3_ok`
RTE `l4_ok` is translated into PMD `l4_ok` and `l4_csum_ok` bits.

Positive IPv4 `l3_ok` flow item configuration is translated into
a single matcher that AND corresponding hardware bits.
Negative IPv4 `l3_ok` is translated into 2 hardware conditions where
each condition probes a single integrity bit:
  RTE::l3_ok is 0 => MLX5::l3_ok is 0 OR MLX5:l3_csum_ok is 0
MLX5 hardware does not do OR condition in flow rule item.
Negative IPv4 `l3_ok` must be translated into 2 flow rules.
Similarly negative RTE `l4_ok` condition is also translated into 2
hardware rules.

Current PMD roadmap does not allow implicit flow rule split.

TODO: extend RTE integrity bits definition to allow match on each
hardware integrity bit for accumulated integiry matches.
