From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin at microsoft.com>
The mp_client crashes if run on Azure or any system where ethdev
ports are owned. This is because the flush loop is confusing the
index into the array of ports[] with the port id.
For example if the server has Ports 3 and 5. Then calling
rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush on any other buffer will dereference null
because the tx buffer for that port was not allocated.
v2
- fix typo
- the flush code is common enough that it should not be marked unlikely
- combine conditions to reduce indentation
v3
- avoid unnecessary if() if sent is zero.
Fixes: e2366e74e029 ("examples: use buffered Tx")
