Before this commit setting scatter offload was based on checking
net_nfp device.
Since DPDK 17.11 more PMD drivers are reporting offload
capabilities. Therefore this commit removes the specific check
against net_nfp device and replaces it with a generic check of
device capabilities before setting the scatter offload.
