[PATCH] net/bonding: avoid RSS reta update in flow-isolation mode

From: Madhuker Mythri <madhuker.mythri at oracle.com>

In bonding PMD, member_start() function checks whether RSS(mq_mode) is
enabled and then calling the RSS rte_eth_dev_rss_reta_update() API, which
is returning error in-case of device configured in flow isolation-mode.
When the device configured with flow isolation mode RSS reta update is not
required and the API was not supported. For example in-case of mlx5 PMD,
RSS reta update API was not supported, when the device is configured in
flow isolation-mode.

So, added check to verify if the device is configured in flow-isolation
mode, then do not call the rte_eth_dev_rss_reta_update() API.

Fixes: 734ce47f71e0 ("bonding: support RSS dynamic configuration")
