The hardware is reporting the type of the hash used for RSS as a PTYPE field in the receive descriptor. Use this value to set the skb packet hash type by extending the hash type table to cover all 10-bits of possible values (requiring some variables to be changed from u8 to u16), and then use that table to convert to one of the possible values in enum pkt_hash_types. While we're here, remove the unused ptype struct value, which makes table init easier for the zero entries, and use ranged initializer to remove a bunch of code (works with gcc and clang). Without this change, the kernel will recalculate the hash in software, which can consume extra CPU cycles.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
