[Nithin Dabilpuram]

From: Nithin Dabilpuram <ndabilpuram at marvell.com>

Based on the discussion in below mail thread, it is concluded that
all traffic manager API's (rte_tm.h) need to be marked experimental
till few more releases to support further improvements to spec.

+* traffic manager: Based on the discussion in the thread
+  https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-April/164970.html it turns out that
+  all traffic manager API's in ``rte_tm.h`` were mistakenly made stable even
+  though the MAINTAINER's file and header file text mentions it to be still
+  experimental. Given that even now, both the maintainer and other contributor's
+  are inclined towards keeping those API's in experimental state till some more
+  releases in support of spec improvements, it is decided that all API's in
+  ``rte_tm.h`` will be marked back as experimental in v20.11 DPDK release.
