[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 29/69] net/ice/base: always set prefena when configuring a Rx queue

[Leyi Rong]

Currently we are always setting prefena to 0. This is causing the
hardware to only fetch descriptors when there are none free in the cache
for a received packet instead of prefetching when it has used the last
descriptor regardless of incoming packets. Fix this by allowing the
hardware to prefetch Rx descriptors.
