i40e/i40evf: Do not write to descriptor unless we complete
This patch defers writing to the Tx descriptor bits until we know we have successfully completed a given operation. So for example we defer updating the tunnelling portion of the context descriptor until we have fully identified the type. The advantage to this approach is that we can assemble values as we go instead of having to try and kludge everything together all at once. As a result we can significantly clean up the tunneling configuration for instance as we can just do a pointer walk and do the math for the distance between each set of points.
