[PATCH net-next-2.6] sfc: Don't try to set filters with search depths we know won't work

[PATCH net-next-2.6] sfc: Don't try to set filters with search depths we know won't work

[Ben Hutchings]

The filter engine will time-out and ignore filters beyond
200-something hops.  We also need to avoid infinite loops in
efx_filter_search() when the table is full.
