[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 8/8] net/mlx4: remove Tx completion elements counter

[Matan Azrad]

This counter saved the descriptor elements which are waiting to be
completted and was used to know if completion function should be
called.

This completion check can be done by other elements management
variables and we can prevent this counter management.

Remove this counter and replace the completion check easily by other
elements management variables.
