ixgbe: supply PF transmit contexts under SR-IOV
X550-family malicious-driver detection validates the transmit
context selected by a data descriptor with Check Context set. ixgbe
sets that bit on every transmit data descriptor, but ordinary PF
packets without a VLAN or checksum offload do not create a context
descriptor. The empty context then reports an invalid MAC-header
length and blocks the PF queue as soon as MDD is enabled.
Create the existing context descriptor for every PF packet while
SR-IOV is active. This supplies the required MAC-header length and
keeps MDD from mistaking normal PF traffic for a malicious-driver
event.
