The spec saies:
        Note that if the device offers VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT, even if it
        supports only one pair of virtqueues, it MUST support at least one of
        commands of VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ class to configure reported hash
        parameters:

        If the device offers VIRTIO_NET_F_RSS, it MUST support
        VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_RSS_CONFIG command per 5.1.6.5.7.1.

        Otherwise the device MUST support VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_HASH_CONFIG command
        per 5.1.6.5.6.4.


So if we have not anyone of `vi->has_rss` and `vi->has_rss_hash_report`,
we should return from virtnet_set_rxfh directly.

Thanks.
