It is OK to use combination of these two but with an assumption
that a normal - IP-UDP packet when encrypted will be an IP-ESP packet
And L4 types are reset from the mbuf->packet_type by the driver.
@Konstantin Ananyev: Are you OK with this assumption?
And, if we choose this path, then also we may need a macro in this file,
So that application doesn't have to combine that explicitly for a standard use case.
#define RTE_PTYPE_TUNNEL_ESP_IN_UDP RTE_PTYPE_TUNNEL_ESP | RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP
Will this be fine?
