[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] rte_sched: fix grinder bug

[Stephen Hemminger]

The rte_scheduler will get stuck and not deliver any more packets
if there are two active subports and then one of them stops enqueing
more packets. This is because of abug in how the grinder state machines
are managed.

If a non-zero grinder is assigned (but not yet active), then the dequeue
would miss it and always return zero packets. The cure is to always
do a first pass over all grinders.
