It should be highlighted that presence of the RSS hash is indicated
by PKT_RX_RSS_HASH flag in mbuf anyway. Now applications have
a way to check that RSS hash delivery is supported and should
enable the offload if RSS hash is used. PMD may still provide the
hash even if the offload is not enabled.

Should be added to rte_rx_offload_names in lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c.
