[dpdk-dev] doc: update dependency requirement for some PMDs

Hi Stephen,

You are right, but without this we cannot rule out the chance that the
user downloaded DPDK, reverted to any version earlier than 20.11 (where make
and meson co-existed) and use make to compile - also they happened to have
intel-ipsec-mb version 1.0 or newer installed before compiling DPDK.

With the description, at least they would know switching to meson build will fix
the problem.

Regards,
Fan
