[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] examples/l3fwd: fix validation for queue id of config tuple

[Reshma Pattan <reshma.pattan@intel.com>]

Added validation for queue id of config parameter tuple.

This validation enforces user to enter queue ids of a port
from 0 and in sequence.

This additional validation on queue ids avoids ixgbe crash caused by null
rxq pointer access inside ixgbe_dev_rx_init.

Reason for null rxq is, L3fwd application allocates memory only for queues passed by user.
But rte_eth_dev_start  tries to initialize rx queues in sequence from 0 to nb_rx_queues,
which is not true and coredump while accessing the unallocated queue .

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
