The default policy for offload-specific fields is that
they are undefined unless the corresponding offloads are
requested in mbuf ol_flags. This is also the case for outer
L2 and L3 length fields which must not be assumed to contain
zeros for non-tunnel packets. The patch clarifies this behaviour
in the comments and also adds appropriate checks to the PMDs which
do not check any tunnel-related offloads before using the said fields.
