[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/5] vmxnet3: Avoid segfault caused by vmxnet3_dev_rx_queue_setup.

We should allocate RX ring for max possible number of hardware
descriptors. If we config RX queue with 2048 RX queue size,
and 4096 soon, there will be segment fault when calling other
ethernet API (e.g. rte_eth_dev_start).
