[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] doc: announce deprecation in crypto queue pair start/stop

[Pablo de Lara]

Functions rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_start/stop
are not really used in any of the crypto drivers
(they all just return 0 or -ENOTSUP).
Therefore, this API can be deprecated from 18.02
and removed in 18.05.
