L2 fields are not used in userspace hash action since
commit 4f150744921f ("dpif-netdev: Use miniflow as a flow key.").
In kernel datapath RSS (which is not include L2 by default for
most of the NICs) was used from the beginning. This means that
if recirculation is in use, L2 fields are not used for flow
balancing.Fix the documentation accordingly.
