[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] net/ixgbe: fix RSS RETA be reset after port start

[Murphy Yang <murphyx.yang@intel.com>]

If one calls ‘rte_eth_dev_rss_reta_update’ with ixgbe before starting
the device (but after setting everything else), then RSS RETA
configuration be zero after starting the device.

This patch gives a notification if the port not started.
