[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix mirror flow split with L3 encapsulation

[Jiawei Wang <jiaweiw@nvidia.com>]

Due to hardware limitations, the decap action can't follow the
sample action in the same flow, to keep the original action order
of sample and decap actions the flow was internally split by PMD,
and decap action was moved into suffix subflow in the new table.

There is a specific combination of raw decap and raw encap actions
to specify "L3 encapsulation" packet transformation - raw decap action
to remove L2 header and raw encap to add the tunnel header.
This specific L3 encapsulation is encoded as a single packet reformat
hardware transaction and is supported by hardware after sample
action (no hardware limitations for packet reformat).

The patch checks whether the decap action is the part of "L3 encapsulation"
and does not move the decap action into suffix subflow for the case.
