[PATCH v4 32/44] net/sxe2: fix RSS action attribute validation

From: Jie Liu <liujie5 at linkdatatechnology.com>

The rss->level/key_len/queue_num checks only set the rte_flow_error
but still return 0 (success), so invalid RSS configurations are
accepted instead of being rejected with ENOTSUP.

Return the error code from the validation checks, matching the
behavior in the V3 implementation.
