[PATCH v2] examples/l3fwd: fix jumbo packet drop issue

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

> From: Rohit Raj <rohit.raj at nxp.com>
> 
> l3fwd uses mbufs with 2KB data size. If we enable jumbo packets, it is
> not able to store packets with size greater than 2KB, hence these
> packets are dropped.
> 
> This patch fixes this issue by enabling scatter for jumbo packet, if
> it is supported by NIC.
> 
> If scatter is not supported by NIC and max packet length is greater
> than default mbuf data size, then application exits with proper error
> message.
> 
> Fixes: f68aad7904f ("examples/l3fwd: update")

> * Improved the check to not enable Rx scatter when packets fits into

> * Check if jumbo packet is enabled using max_rx_pktlen instead of

>From the code below, it looks like you always enable scatter if HW supports it.
