ixgbe: fix for 82599 erratum on Header Splitting

commit a124339ad2 upstream.

We have found a hardware erratum on 82599 hardware that can lead to
unpredictable behavior when Header Splitting mode is enabled.  So
we are no longer enabling this feature on affected hardware.

Please see the 82599 Specification Update for more information.
