Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] lib/librte_pipeline:fix the array index out of bound

In function rte_pipeline_compute_masks(), the value pos equal
p->entries[i]->action,type constraint p->entries[i]->action is
[0,4],but array action_mask1 size is 4,it possible attempt to access element 4 of array action_mask1.And also in function rte_pipeline_run(),it possible attempt to access element 4 of array action_mask0.

How about making library more robust by introducing some checks to make sure that action field value doesn't overshoot?
The action field value can be checked in the following functions meant for adding table entries. 
rte_pipeline_table_default_entry_add(),
rte_pipeline_table_entry_add(),
rte_pipeline_table_entry_add_bulk()
