[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3] net/mlx5: fix init with zero Rx queues

Recent patch [1] added, at the end of mlx5_dev_configure(), a call to
mlx5_proc_priv_init(), initializing process_private data of eth_dev.
This call is not reached if PMD is started with zero Rx queues.
In this case mlx5_dev_configure() returns earlier due to the check:
	if (rxqs_n == priv->rxqs_n)
		return 0;
In such a scenario, later references to uninitialized process_private
data will result in segmentation fault.
For example see in function txq_uar_init().

This patch changes the check logic. The following code is executed
if (rxqs_n != priv->rxqs_n), and skipped otherwise.
Function mlx5_proc_priv_init() is always invoked, to ensure
process_private data is initialized.
