[PATCH v2] examples/l3fwd: fix jumbo packet drop issue

[rohit.raj@nxp.com]

From: Rohit Raj <rohit.raj@nxp.com>

l3fwd uses mbufs with 2KB data size. If we enable jumbo packets, it is
not able to store packets with size greater than 2KB, hence these
packets are dropped.

This patch fixes this issue by enabling scatter for jumbo packet, if
it is supported by NIC.

If scatter is not supported by NIC and max packet length is greater
than default mbuf data size, then application exits with proper error
message.

Fixes: f68aad7904f ("examples/l3fwd: update")

v2:
* Improved the check to not enable Rx scatter when packets fits into
  buffer.
* Check if jumbo packet is enabled using max_rx_pktlen instead of
  jumbo packet flag.
