Currently PMD implementations default RSS on either tunnel outer or
inner fields. This patch introduced RSS level to allow user to specify
RSS hash field level of tunneled packets.
0: outer RSS.
1: inner RSS.
2-255: deep RSS level.
Please note that tunnels that tightly nested without IP/UDP/TCP layer
interlaced are deemed as one level. For example the following packet can
only use level 0 or 1:
eth / ipv4 / GRE / MPLS / ipv4 / udp
