No, it's not, you are right. Actually it's RTE_MBUF_F_TX_SEC_OFFLOAD, 
and that also means the IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK definition is not correct. 
I will send another patch to fix the definition of IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK.

As for this fix, if you prefer a safer approach I can add another check 
only for RTE_MBUF_F_TX_SEC_OFFLOAD, but one way or the other we need to 
have this fix.
