These helpers aim to help drivers, with checking
for the presence of unsupported control flags.

For drivers supporting at least one control flag:
flow_rule_is_supp_control_flags()

For drivers using flow_rule_match_control(), but not using flags:
flow_rule_has_control_flags()

For drivers not using flow_rule_match_control():
flow_rule_match_has_control_flags()

While primarily aimed at FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_CONTROL
and flow_rule_match_control(), then the first two
can also be used with FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_ENC_CONTROL
and flow_rule_match_enc_control().

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

Only compile-tested.

The kdoc test failed:

For some reason I didn't find kernel-doc.rst, because I searched for autodoc sphinx stuff.

Will do proper "Return:" in v3.

I wasn't able to reproduce the kdoc failure[1] locally:
