Since the return value type of i40e_flowtype_to_pctype is " enum i40e_filter_pctype ", although put the check in i40e_flowtype_to_pctype, we should check return value after every i40e_flowtype_to_pctype calling. I think there's no more improvement.
Besides, check valid flow type is called before i40e_flowtype_to_pctype in some places previously, such as function i40e_hash_filter_inset_select and i40e_fdir_filter_inset_select.
