Subject: nfp: fix flower offload metadata flag usage

From: Pieter Jansen van Vuuren <pieter.jansenvanvuuren@netronome.com>


[ Upstream commit 6c3ab204f4ca00374a374bc0fc9a275b64d1bcbb ]

Hardware has no notion of new or last mask id, instead it makes use of the
message type (i.e. add flow or del flow) in combination with a single bit
in metadata flags to determine when to add or delete a mask id. Previously
we made use of the new or last flags to indicate that a new mask should be
allocated or deallocated, respectively. This incorrect behaviour is fixed
by making use single bit in metadata flags to indicate mask allocation or
deallocation.
