> RXQ interrupts under Linux are based on the epoll mechanism. An
> expected order of operations is as follows:
> 1. Call rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_enable(), to arm the CQ for receiving events
> on data input.
> 2. Block on rte_epoll_wait() with an array of file descriptors
> representing the CQ events. Upon data arrival the kernel will signal an
> input event on the corresponding CQ fd.
> 3. Call rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable() after the event was received and
> continue in polling mode. The mlx5 implementation of
> rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable() is to get the CQ event and ack it.
> 
> In practice applications may wake up from rte_epoll_wait() due to
> timeout with no event to ack but still call
> rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable() unconditionally.  In such cases the call
> should return EAGAIN (since the file descriptors are non-blocked), as
> opposed to EINVAL which indicates a real failure.  In case of EAGAIN the
> PMD should not warn on "Unable to disable interrupt on Rx queue".
> 
> This commit fixes a earlier commit where the returned value 0 from
> function devx_get_event() - was considered an error.
