When tcp-data-split is UNKNOWN mode, drivers arbitrarily handle it.
For example, bnxt_en driver automatically enables if at least one of
LRO/GRO/JUMBO is enabled.
If tcp-data-split is UNKNOWN and LRO is enabled, a driver returns
ENABLES of tcp-data-split, not UNKNOWN.
So, `ethtool -g eth0` shows tcp-data-split is enabled.
The problem is in the setting situation.
In the ethnl_set_rings(), it first calls get_ringparam() to get the
current driver's config.
At that moment, if driver's tcp-data-split config is UNKNOWN, it returns
ENABLE if LRO/GRO/JUMBO is enabled.
Then, it sets values from the user and driver's current config to
kernel_ethtool_ringparam.
Last it calls .set_ringparam().
The driver, especially bnxt_en driver receives
ETHTOOL_TCP_DATA_SPLIT_ENABLED.
But it can't distinguish whether it is set by the user or just the
current config.
The new tcp_data_split_mod member indicates the tcp-data-split value is
explicitly set by the user.
So the driver can handle ETHTOOL_TCP_DATA_SPLIT_ENABLED properly.
