ethtool: rss: Fix hfunc and input_xfrm parsing on big endian

ETHTOOL_A_RSS_HFUNC and ETHTOOL_A_RSS_INPUT_XFRM are NLA_U32 attributes,
but ethnl_rss_set() and ethnl_rss_create_doit() parse them with
ethnl_update_u8(), which reads a single byte.

On little endian this happens to read the least significant byte and
works as long as the value fits in a byte. On big endian it reads the
most significant byte, so the requested value is parsed incorrectly.

The destination fields in struct ethtool_rxfh_param are u8, so the
attribute can't be read directly with ethnl_update_u32().
Cap the hfunc policy at U8_MAX so an out of range value is rejected
instead of being silently truncated into the u8 field, and add
ethnl_update_u8_u32() to read the full u32 and narrow it into the u8
destination.

Fixes: 82ae67cbc4 ("ethtool: rss: support setting hfunc via Netlink")
Fixes: d3e2c7bab1 ("ethtool: rss: support setting input-xfrm via Netlink")
Fixes: a166ab7816 ("ethtool: rss: support creating contexts via Netlink")
