Tunnel offload mode allows application to restore partially offloaded
tunneled packets to its original state.
MLX5 PMD stores internal data required to restore partially offloaded
packet in packet mark section. Therefore MLX5 PMD will not allow
applications to use mark action if tunnel offload mode was activated.
The restriction is applied both to regular and tunnel offload rules.
The patch rejects application rules with mark action while tunnel
offload is active.
