[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] lib/distributor: fix segfaults in flush

[David Hunt]

Occasionally, the distributor single-packet-at-a-time mode will
segfault because it inadvertently calls some burst mode code when
flushing packets.

This patch ensures that only the v20 (single mode) codepath is used, and
returns without falling through to the burst mode code.

Fixes: 775003ad2f96 ("distributor: add new burst-capable library")

v2: Extented commit message. Patch remains the same.
