As reported by Ilya [1], unconditionally calling
rte_flow_get_restore_info() impacts an application performance for drivers
that do not provide this ops.
It could also impact processing of packets that require no call to
rte_flow_get_restore_info() at all.

Advertise in mbuf (via a dynamic flag) whether the driver has more
metadata to provide via rte_flow_get_restore_info().
The application can then call it only when required.

Note: I did not test this RFC patch yet but I hope we can resume and
maybe conclude on the discussion for the tunnel offloading API.
