PATCH 1/1 net/mlx5: fix restore info in non-tunnel traffic.

Tunnel offload API provides applications with ability to restore packet outer headers after partial offload. Exact feature execution depends on hardware abilities and PMD implementation. Hardware that is supported by MLX5 PMD places a mark on a packet after partial offload. PMD decodes that mark and provides application with required information.
Application can call the restore API for packets that are part of offloaded tunnel and not. It's up to a PMD to provide correct information.
Current MLX5 tunnel offload implementation does not allow applications to use flow MARK actions. It is restricted to tunnel offload use only. This fault was triggered by application that did not activate tunnel offload and called the restore API with a marked packet. The PMD tried to decode the mark value and crashed. The patch decodes mark value only if tunnel offload is active.
