[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mbuf_offload: mark experimental state

[Thomas Monjalon]

Cryptodev was marked experimental and mbuf_offload depends on it.
The mbuf_offload library is one of the crypto area which requires
some discussions before having a stable API.

The experimental mark is also added to rte_cryptodev_configure()
to be sure one cannot miss it.

Fixes: 66874e55f550 ("cryptodev: mark experimental state")
