Documentation/pktgen: Clearify how-to use pktgen samples

Browse Source 
o Change process name in ps output: looks like, these days the process
  is named kpktgend_<cpu>, rather than pktgen/<cpu>.
o Use pg_ctrl for start/stop as it can work well with pgset without
  changes to $(PGDEV) variable.
o Clarify a bit needed $(PGDEV) definition for sample scripts and that
  one needs to `source functions.sh`.
o Document how-to unset a behaviour flag, note about history expansion.
o Fix pgset spi parameter value.

===================
This is done via the /proc interface, and most easily done via pgset
as defined in the sample scripts.
You need to specify PGDEV environment variable to use functions from sample
scripts, i.e.:
export PGDEV=/proc/net/pktgen/eth4@0
source samples/pktgen/functions.sh
Examples:
pg_ctrl start starts injection.
pg_ctrl stop aborts injection. Also, ^C aborts generator.
pgset "clone_skb 1" sets the number of copies of the same packet
pgset "clone_skb 0" use single SKB for all transmits
pgset "burst 8" uses xmit_more API to queue 8 copies of the same

IPSEC # IPsec encapsulation (needs CONFIG_XFRM)
NODE_ALLOC # node specific memory allocation
NO_TIMESTAMP # disable timestamping
pgset 'flag ![name]' Clear a flag to determine behaviour.
Note that you might need to use single quote in
interactive mode, so that your shell wouldn't expand
the specified flag as a history command.
pgset spi SPI_VALUE Set specific SA used to transform packet.
pgset "spi [SPI_VALUE]" Set specific SA used to transform packet.
pgset "udp_src_min 9" set UDP source port min, If < udp_src_max, then
cycle through the port range.
