GRE entropy calculation is a single bit per card, and not per port.
Force disable GRE entropy calculation upon the first GRE encap rule,
and release the force at the last GRE encap rule removal. This is done
per port.

Flow entropy is calculated on the inner packet headers and used for
flow distribution in processing, routing etc. For GRE-type
encapsulations the entropy value is placed in the eight LSB of the key
field in the GRE header as defined in NVGRE RFC 7637. For UDP based
encapsulations the entropy value is placed in the source port of the
UDP header.
The hardware may support entropy calculation specifically for GRE and
for all tunneling protocols. With commit df2ef3bff193 ("net/mlx5e: Add
GRE protocol offloading") GRE is offloaded, but the hardware is
configured by default to calculate flow entropy so packets transmitted
on the wire have a wrong key. To support UDP based tunnels (i.e VXLAN),
GRE (i.e. no flow entropy) and NVGRE (i.e. with flow entropy) the
hardware behaviour must be controlled by the driver.
Ensure port entropy calculation is enabled for offloaded VXLAN tunnels
and disable port entropy calculation in the presence of offloaded GRE
tunnels by monitoring the presence of entropy enabling tunnels (i.e
VXLAN) and entropy disabing tunnels (i.e GRE).
