Yes, it seems force enabling this offloading is not quite reasonable here.
This may just follow previous PMD convention, so we decided to remove
this part in the coming version. Thanks!

Actually here is just a workaround solution for the max_mtu info...
We can only get the max_mtu value via adminq message from the backend.
But the real one (i.e., priv->max_mtu) we get is 1460, which is less than 1500
Seems it is the GCP bug or something. 
If we use "dev_info->max_mtu = priv->max_mtu", the testpmd cannot even
be launched successfully...
I'll keep this part unchanged with some comments here if no other solutions.
Please help correct me if you have any other idea. Thanks a lot!

Will move this to the corresponding patch, thanks!
