Now the port Rx mq_mode had been set to RTE_ETH_MQ_RX_RSS
by default, but some hw and/or virtual interface does not
support the RSS and offload mode presupposed, e.g., some
virtio interfaces in the cloud don't support
RSS and the error msg may like:
virtio_dev_configure(): RSS support requested but not supported by
the device
Port0 dev_configure = -95
So to enable the l3fwd running in that environment, the Rx mode requirement
can be relaxed to reflect the hardware feature reality here, and the l3fwd
can run smoothly then.
An option named "relax-rx-mode" is added to enable the relax action
here, and it's disabled by default.
