[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 24/25] mlx5: make Rx queue reinitialization safer

From: Adrien Mazarguil <adrien.mazarguil at 6wind.com>

The primary purpose of rxq_rehash() function is to stop and restart
reception on a queue after re-posting buffers. This may fail if the array
that temporarily stores existing buffers for reuse cannot be allocated.

Update rxq_rehash() to work on the target queue directly (not through a
template copy) and avoid this allocation.

rxq_alloc_elts() is modified accordingly to take buffers from an existing
queue directly and update their refcount.

Unlike rxq_rehash(), rxq_setup() must work on a temporary structure but
should not allocate new mbufs from the pool while reinitializing an
existing queue. This is achieved by using the refcount-aware
rxq_alloc_elts() before overwriting queue data.
