[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 4/5] net/mlx4: restore UDP RSS by probing capabilities

Until now, UDP RSS support could not be relied on due to a problem in the
Linux kernel implementation and mlx4 RSS capabilities were not reported at
all, hence the PMD had to make assumptions.

Since both issues will be addressed simultaneously in Linux 4.15 (related
patches already upstream) and likely backported afterward, UDP RSS support
can be enabled by probing RSS capabilities.
