[ovs-dev] [PATCH] docs: Move restart related note to appropriate place.

I sent a patch here to consolidate and make more coherent the various pmd-cpu-mask references

https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-July/336367.html

This includes removing a reference to the pmd-cpu-mask under the setup section
and pointing the reader to the Performance Tuning section which already has an existing
dedicated section on pmd-cpu-mask usage.

Subject: [ovs-dev] [PATCH] docs: Move restart related note to appropriate	place.

    Currently, 'restart' related note is at the end of 'Setup OVS'
    section. This makes the reader think that changing the
    'pmd-cpu-mask' requires application restart.
    
    It was mistakenly moved while converting to rST.
    
    Fix that by moving the note closer to options it relates to.
