[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ixgbe: fix a x550 DCB issue

There's a DCB issue on x550. For 8 TCs, if a packet with user priority 6
or 7 is injected to the NIC, then the NIC will put 3 packets into the
queue. There's also a similar issue for 4 TCs.
The root cause is RXPBSIZE is not right. RXPBSIZE of x550 is 384. It's
different from other 10G NICs. We need to set the RXPBSIZE according to
the NIC type.
