doc: simplify Linux paramter rcu_nocbs in PVP benchmark

From Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, specifically the
last sentence:

nohz_full= [KNL,BOOT,SMP,ISOL]
The argument is a cpu list, as described above.
In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, set
the specified list of CPUs whose tick will be stopped
whenever possible. The boot CPU will be forced outside
the range to maintain the timekeeping. Any CPUs
in this list will have their RCU callbacks offloaded,
just as if they had also been called out in the
rcu_nocbs= boot parameter.

The kernel or-s the nohz_full cpumask into the rcu_nocbs cpumask at
startup, and uses that.

ethdev: remove jumbo offload flag

Removing 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME' offload flag.

Instead of drivers announce this capability, application can deduct the
capability by checking reported 'dev_info.max_mtu' or
'dev_info.max_rx_pktlen'.

And instead of application setting this flag explicitly to enable jumbo
frames, this can be deduced by driver by comparing requested 'mtu' to
'RTE_ETHER_MTU'.

Removing this additional configuration for simplification.
