[PATCH 20.11] net/octeontx2:: fix base rule merge

[psatheesh at marvell.com]

From: Satheesh Paul <psatheesh at marvell.com>

Egress rules do not have a base steering rule and the
current base steering rule is applicable only for ingress
rules. Hence, when creating a flow rule, merge base steering
rule only for ingress rules.

Fixes: ce3a1c3164 ("net/octeontx2: support VF base steering rule")
