[PATCH net-next 1/6] flow_offload: add flow_rule_no_unsupp_control_flags()

[Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen]

This helper can be used by drivers to check for the
presence of unsupported control flags.

It mirrors the existing check done in sfc:
  drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/tc.c +276

This is aimed at drivers, which implements some control flags.

This should also be used by drivers that implement all
current flags, so that future flags will be unsupported
by default.

Only compile-tested.
