ixgbe: disallow IPsec Tx offload when in SR-IOV mode
There seems to be a problem in the x540's internal switch wherein if SR-IOV
mode is enabled and an offloaded IPsec packet is sent to a local VF,
the packet is silently dropped. This might never be a problem as it is
somewhat a corner case, but if someone happens to be using IPsec offload
from the PF to a VF that just happens to get migrated to the local box,
communication will mysteriously fail.
Not good.
A simple way to protect from this is to simply not allow any IPsec offloads
for outgoing packets when num_vfs != 0. This doesn't help any offloads that
were created before SR-IOV was enabled, but we'll get to that later.
