[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ethdev: fix VXLAN mask initialization value

In GCC compiler, __builtin_constant_p(exp) is a function.
The function returns the integer 1 if the argument is known to be
a compile-time constant.
Therefore, __builtin_constant_p(0xffffff << 8) returned 1.
As the result, rte_flow_item_vxlan_mask was initiated to
{{
  {flags = 0x0, rsvd0 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0},
   vni = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, rsvd1 = 0x1},
  hdr = {vx_flags = 0x0, vx_vni = 0x1000000}}}
}}
GCC fails initialization
rte_flow_item_vxlan_mask.hdr.vni = (0xffffff << 8)
with "initializer element is not a constant expression" error.
Use immediate 0xffffff00 value instead.
