[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] mbuf: improve API doc for tunnel Tx offloads

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

Add few details to remind TSO flag, checksum flags and header lengths.

The doxygen syntax for MPLS-in-UDP is fixed.

Fixes: d95188551fa1 ("mbuf: introduce new Tx offload flag for MPLS-in-UDP")
