* [PATCH] examples: remove check for old broken pkg-config

  To: dev; +Cc: david.marchand, Bruce Richardson

The version of pkg-config shipped with RHEL 7 had issues reporting the
linker flags for DPDK, meaning we couldn't build the examples statically
using it. However, as RHEL 7 is no longer supported by future DPDK
releases, we can drop the check for this condition from all the
Makefiles. More recent pkg-config versions don't have this issue.
