> We set the value of `u16 q_index = 0` at the beginning of the function

> Fix this behaviour by change of the type of field `q_index` from u16 to s16 
> in `struct ice_fdir_fltr`. This allows to store -1 in the field in case of 
> "drop traffic" action. What is more, change the variable type > in the 
> function ice_set_fdir_input_set() and assign at the beginning the new 
> `#define ICE_FDIR_NO_QUEUE_IDX` which is -1. Later, if the action is set to 
> another value (point specific queue index) the variable value is overwritten
