In this fix I also expect documentation update to say it is not possible to toggle CRC with OFED/rdma-core version less than XXX.

Because before this patch:
"if CRC offload is set application can set/disable the CRC strip. Otherwise it is always to strip"

With this patch:
"if ofed/rdma-core version is > XXX application can disable CRC strip. Otherwise it is always to strip"
