net/ixgbe: remove tpid check for flow director

DPDK community has several emails discussion on this topic,
these mails link is bellow:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-March/060379.html,
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-March/060295.html,

items like VLAN can already have several valid "types"
(0x88a8, 0x8100, 0x9100), and who knows what will come up
in the future.

And ixgbe_flow just ignores the types when do filter configuration.
So it may be reasonable to delete the related tpid check process.

Also add some more comment log on stack explanation.
