Problem is that this patch removes the ability to request "all" RSS types
regardless of PMD support.
Users will expect "all" to behave as documented, however doing so will only
result in the limited set of types reported by PMDs. For instance at least
mlx4 doesn't update the flow_type_rss_offloads field since it has never
implemented configuration support for the legacy RSS API.
You should add an argument with a different name (e.g. "supported" or
"default") for that and keep the original meaning for "all".
Testpmd documentation has to be updated accordingly.
One more nit below.

This could be declared in the new block where it's used. Also note that
"{0}" is nonstandard syntax, use memset() or initialize a field like
rss_key_len above.
