  This patchset stems from [1].

Not all PMDs allow RTE flow rule creation before device start.
Introduced capability marks the ones that allow it.
The capability is then used to fix flow rule creation for 
dedicated queues in slave devices in bonding.

The introduced capa _will need to be set_ for all appropriate PMDs
in `rte_eth_dev_info->dev_capa`.
That is not pretty, but it holds the semantics of a capability
correctly, as opposed to making it a requirement to have the device
started before creating flow rules.
