[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 6/6] net/mlx5: not split hairpin flow in explicit mode

In the current implementation, the hairpin flow will be split into two flows implicitly if there is some action that only belongs to the TX part. A TX device flow will be inserted by the mlx5 PMD itself. In hairpin between two ports, the explicit TX flow mode will be the only one to be supported.
