[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: Fix possible NULL deref in RX path

The user is allowed to call ->rx_pkt_burst() even without free
mbufs in the pool. In this scenario we'll fail allocating a rep mbuf
on the first iteration (where pkt is still NULL). This would cause us
to deref a NULL pkt (reset refcount and free).
Fix this by checking the pkt before freeing it.

Changes from v1:
- check pkt only once in case we failed to allocate a buffer
