ethtool: Name the 'no change' value for setting RSS hash key but not indir table
We usually allocate special values of u32 fields starting from the top down, so also change the value to 0xffffffff. As these operations haven't been included in a stable release yet, it's not too late to change. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
