idpf: don't skip over ethtool tcp-data-split setting
[ Upstream commit 67708158e732bf03d076fba1e3d4453fbf8292a2 ]
Disabling tcp-data-split on idpf silently fails:
# ethtool -G $NETDEV tcp-data-split off
# ethtool -g $NETDEV | grep 'TCP data split'
TCP data split: on
But it works if you also change 'tx' or 'rx':
# ethtool -G $NETDEV tcp-data-split off tx 256
# ethtool -g $NETDEV | grep 'TCP data split'
TCP data split: off
The bug is in idpf_set_ringparam, where it takes a shortcut out if the
TX and RX sizes are not changing. Fix it by checking also if the
tcp-data-split setting remains unchanged. Only then can the soft reset
be skipped.
