[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] app/testpmd: revert setting default RSS

This reverts the patch that enables default RSS action by setting
key=NULL and key_len=0.
In current testpmd implementation a key pointer must exist if
key_len!=0. For example, the following flow rule will cause a
segmentation fault:
flow create 0 <pattern> actions rss queues 0 1 end key_len 40 / end
