[PATCH 1/2] app/testpmd: revert L4 protocol retrieval from L3 header

This reverts commit 496159613ffc7b6ba592432a1ba4d1a38f6935de.

When the TX IP checksum offload feature is enabled, it may result in
internal UDP checksum errors in VXLAN tunnel packets.

Fixes: 496159613ffc ("app/testpmd: fix L4 protocol retrieval from L3 header")
