From: Beilei Xing <beilei.xing at intel.com>
Turning off S-TAG identification will impact floating VEB,
VFs can't communicate with each other.
This patch fixes this issue by judging whether floating
VEB is enabled, S-TAG identification will be turned off
only when floating VEB is disabled.
Fixes: 4d61120d5ce7 ("net/i40e: fix dropping packets with ethertype 0x88A8")
