Applied to dpdk-next-net/main, thanks.
only 1/2 applied since discussion is going on for 2/2.
I'm not sure this testpmd change is good.
Reminder: testpmd is for testing the PMDs.
Don't we want to see VLAN packets dropped in the case described above?
The patch set 'max_rx_pkt_len' in a way to make MTU 1500 for all PMDs,
otherwise testpmd set hard-coded 'RTE_ETHER_MAX_LEN' value, which makes MTU
between 1492-1500 depending on PMD.
It is application responsibility to provide correct 'max_rx_pkt_len'.
I guess the original intention was to set MTU as 1500 but was not correct for
all PMDs and this patch is fixing it.
The same problem in the ethdev, (assuming 'RTE_ETHER_MAX_LEN' will give MTU
1500), the other patch in the set is to fix it later.
