Add support for bridge offload ndo_ops getlink and setlink to enable bridge hardware mode as per the mode set via IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE. The support is only enabled in case of a PF VSI and not available for any other VSI type. By default the i40e driver inserts a bridge as part of the bring-up when a FDIR type VSI and/or a FCoE VSI is created. This bridge is created in VEB mode by default i.e. after creating the bridge using "Add VEB" AQ command the loopback for the PF's default VSI is enabled. The patch adds capability where all the VSIs created as downlink to the bridge inherits the loopback property and enables loopback only if the uplink bridge is operating in VEB mode. Hence, there is no need to explicitly enable loopback as part of allocating resources for SR-IOV VFs and call to do that has been removed. In case a user-request is made either via "bridge" utility or using the bridge netlink interface that requires to change the hardware bridge mode then that would require a PF reset and rebuild of the switch hierarchy. Also update the copyright year.
