The tunnel offload API allows application to place tunnel offload elements at any valid location in a flow rule. 
Current testpmd code places tunnel offload items
at the beginning of pattern array and tunnel offload actions at the beginning of actions array.
The testpmd patch in v1 & v2 changed location of tunnel offload elements in a flow rule.

That patch was not a fix - it emphasized general usage of the tunnel offload API.
Current testpmd code works fine.
