Looks like accidental whitespace change included in this patch.

Would be better to add unlikely() here like:
			if (unlikely(i < nb_alloc)) {
				rxq->no_mbufs += nb_alloc - i;
				nb_alloc = i;
			}

Or eliminate conditional branch in hot path completely.
			rxq->no_mbufs += nb_alloc - i;
			nb_alloc = i;

Or better yet refactor code here to use rte_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk() which
does single ring operation.
