[c-nsp] SXI high cpu usage and rp inband SPAN feature not available

[schilling]

My bad. The RP SPAN is available on SXI.

It turns out that the existing monitor session will not have type option
available.  I configured to have a monitor session 1 destination interface
first as it is for SXF before trying the monitor session 1 ?
