Remove this extra line.

I think better to ident mlx4_ibv_to_dpdk_rss_types to the line below along with hw_rss_sup

DPDK RSS hash fields supported by mlx4.  is enough.

There is an issue with this logic. Sorry for not noticing in the previous version. 

Let's say the caps report support for only UDP, no IP. On the logic above it will report both 
ETH_RSS_NONFRAG_IPV4_UDP
ETH_RSS_NONFRAG_IPV6_UDP

It looks like for the L4 to be valid RSS hash it needs the l3 to be valid.
