Subject: i40e: only register client on iWarp-capable devices

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@intel.com>


[ Upstream commit 004eb614c4d2fcc12a98714fd887a860582f203a ]

The client interface is only intended for use on devices that support
iWarp. Only register with the client if this is the case.

This fixes a panic when loading i40iw on X710 devices.
