ethtool: Make struct ethtool_rxnfc kernel-doc more self-consistent
Refer consistently to 'classification rules' or just 'rules' rather than 'filter specifications' or 'filter rules'. Refer consistently to rule 'locations' and not 'indices'. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
