> The replenishment scheme for the vectorized MPRQ Rx burst aims

> there are almost no mbufs left: one burst gap between allocated

> This gap is not big enough to accommodate a corner case when we

> at the beginning and 64 zipped CQEs at the end.

> Need to keep in mind this case and extend the replenishment
> threshold by MLX5_VPMD_RX_MAX_BURST (64) to avoid mbuf overflow.
