[PATCH] net/ice: set flags while adding vsi

While adding a vsi for an ice PF, set the ICE_AQ_VSI_SW_FLAG_LOCAL_LB
flag. This will prevent packets from being dropped when using a virtual
MAC address with VRRP.

Also set the ICE_AQ_VSI_SW_FLAG_SRC_PRUNE flag to prevent transmitted
packets from being looped back in some circumstances.

Fixes: f9cf4f864150 ("net/ice: support device initialization")
