[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/5] net/mlx5: check extended metadata for mark modififcation

[Alexander Kozyrev]

The MODIFY_FIELD RTE action requires the extended metadata support
in order to manipulate on MARK register. Check if it is supported
and reject the MODIFY_FIELD action if it is not.

Fixes: 641dbe4fb0 ("net/mlx5: support modify field flow action")
