[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 2/2] net/mlx5: fix instruction hotspot on replenishing Rx buffer

[Yongseok Koh]

On replenishing Rx buffers for vectorized Rx, mbuf->buf_addr isn't needed
to be accessed as it is static and easily calculated from the mbuf address.
Accessing the mbuf content causes unnecessary load stall and it is worsened
on ARM.

v5:
* no change

v4:
* no change

v2:
* use the newly introduced API - rte_mbuf_buf_addr_default()
* fix error in assert
