  Added validation for queue id of config parameter tuple.

This validation enforces user to enter queue ids of a port
from 0 and in sequence.

This additional validation on queue ids avoids ixgbe crash caused by null
rxq pointer access inside ixgbe_dev_rx_init.

Reason for null rxq is, L3fwd application allocates memory only for queues passed by user.
But rte_eth_dev_start  tries to initialize rx queues in sequence from 0 to nb_rx_queues,
which is not true and coredump while accessing the unallocated queue .

 v2:
 used nested if instead of if and elseif.

You forgot to include the Fixes line.

You should include a return at the end of the sentence.
