  Now the port Rx mq_mode had been set to RTE_ETH_MQ_RX_RSS, and offload
mode set to RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_CHECKSUM by default, but some hardware
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 may only partly support RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_UDP_CKSUM/
RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_TCP_CKSUM,
but not RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM, and the error msg here:

virtio_dev_configure(): RSS support requested but not supported by
the device
Port0 dev_configure = -95

and:
Ethdev port_id=0 requested Rx offloads 0xe does not match Rx offloads
capabilities 0x201d in rte_eth_dev_configure()

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.
A warning msg would be provided to user in case it happens here.

On the other side, enabling the software cksum check in case the
hw support missing.
