The use of rte_strerror(-error) in netdev_dpdk_set_qos() looks a little
confusing to me.  Is ->qos_construct() supposed to return a negative
number for errors?  But that doesn't seem to mesh with the assignment
"error = EOPNOTSUPP;" earlier in netdev_dpdk_set_qos().  But maybe I'm
not familiar enough with how DPDK reports errors.
