[PATCH] virtio_net: roll back RSS state on control failure

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The ethtool RSS and RXHASH paths update the driver's cached RSS state
before committing the change to the device.  If the control virtqueue
command fails, the cached hash types, key or indirection table can then
report a configuration that the device did not accept.

Preserve the previous local state around RSS/hash control commands and
restore it when the device update fails, while propagating the error to
the caller.
