To make it possible to the app to determine if the hash was calculated
for the packet or not, the PKT_RX_RSS_HASH should be set in the mbuf's
ol_flags.

As the PMD wasn't setting that, the application couldn't check if there
is a hash in a proper way.

The hash is valid only if it's UDP or TCP and the IP packet wasn't
fragmented.

The driver should announce the 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_RSS_HASH' offload capability
first, and should set 'PKT_RX_RSS_HASH' only if application requests the
'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_RSS_HASH'.


Normally this is an optimization to not always update the 'mbuf->hash.rss' but
wait for explicit request from application for it.

But there is no practical performance gain for some PMDs and they enable it even
user does not ask for it [1] (of course if RSS is enabled), if this is same for
'ena' you can do the same.
Thanks for the reference - ENA should do the same, I will change that in v4.
