hw-offload is can actually be enabled without a restart. Then, once enabled, a restart is needed in order to make the new value effective. tc-policy, just like hw-offload, is protected by ovsthread_once_start() in netdev_set_flow_api_enabled() and is only parsed when hw-offload is enabled. So lets document that if hw-offload was already enabled changing it requires a restart in order for it to have effect.
