From: Nazim Amirul <muhammad.nazim.amirul.nazle.asmade@altera.com>

[ Upstream commit 5536d7c843637e9430279b94935fcf7df98babb3 ]

The basic flow parser in tc_add_basic_flow() does not validate match
keys before proceeding. Unsupported offload configurations such as
partial protocol masks, non-IPv4 network proto, or non-TCP/UDP transport
proto are silently accepted instead of returning -EOPNOTSUPP.

Add validation to return -EOPNOTSUPP early for:
- No network or transport proto present in the key
- Partial protocol mask (only full mask supported)
- Network proto is not IPv4
- Transport proto is not TCP or UDP

Each rejection includes an extack message so the user knows which part
of the match is unsupported.

Also propagate -EOPNOTSUPP from tc_add_basic_flow() in tc_add_flow()
by returning it directly rather than using break. The break was silently
discarding the error for FLOW_CLS_REPLACE operations where entry->in_use
is already true, causing tc_add_flow() to return 0 (success) for
unsupported replace requests.
