[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 4/4] vmxnet3: Avoid segfault caused by vmxnet3_dev_tx_queue_setup.

When we config TX queue with 2048 TX queue size, stop the device,
changed queue size to 4096 and then start the device, there will
be segment fault. We should allocate TX ring for max possible
number of hardware descriptors.
