> When the uplink PF is promiscuous, ice_vsi_sync_fltr() installs an
> ICE_SW_LKUP_DFLT catch-all Rx rule on the uplink VSI. Entering switchdev re-
> affirms it through the idempotent ice_set_dflt_vsi(), but
> ice_eswitch_release_env() removed both the Rx and Tx DFLT rules
> unconditionally on teardown. That clobbered a promisc-owned Rx rule: it
> disappeared while IFF_PROMISC was still set and the sync path was not
> retriggered, leaving the uplink without the catch-all the netdev requested.

> Skip the Rx DFLT removal when the uplink is promiscuous, both in
> ice_eswitch_release_env() and the err_def_tx unwind of
> ice_eswitch_setup_env(); the Tx leg, owned by switchdev, is still removed.
> Test the live netdev->flags, the same value ena_rx_filtering() ->
> ice_cfg_vlan_pruning() above already keys on, so the preserved rule and the
> pruning state stay consistent, including for a promisc change made while
> switchdev ran (which never reached the gated filter sync).
