ixgbe: turn NETIF_F_HW_L2FW_DOFFLOAD off by default
NETIF_F_HW_L2FW_DOFFLOAD allows upper layer net devices such as macvlan to use queues in the hardware to directly submit and receive skbs. This creates a subtle change in the datapath though. One change being the skb may no longer use the root devices qdisc. Because users may not expect this we can't enable the feature by default unless the hardware can offload all the software functionality above it. So for now disable it by default and let users opt in.
