[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ice/base: workaround for unexpected rule deletion

[Qi Zhang]

Ideally a rule with "TO VSI LIST" action should not be deleted when one
of the VF reset happens. The correct action by kernel PF driver is to
remove the VSI of a reset VF from the VSI list, but this is not
implemented in kernel PF yet, so workaround is the DCF to prevent a
rule with "To VSI List" action happens.
