[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vdpa/mlx5: fix completion queue polling

The CQ polling is done in order to notify the guest about new traffic
bursts and to release FW resources for the next bursts management.

When HW is faster than SW, it may be that all the FW resources are busy
in SW due to late polling.
In this case, due to wrong WQE counter masking, the fullness
calculation of the completions number is 0 while the queue is full.

Change the WQE counter masking to 16-bit wideness instead of the CQ
size mask as defined by the CQE format.
