[PATCH v2] net/ixgbe: fix min Rx/Tx descriptors

[Mingjin Ye]

The minimum free packet threshold (tx_free_thresh) and the minimum RS bit
threshold (tx_rs_thresh) both have a default value of 32. Therefore, the
default minimum number of ring descriptors value is 64.

For reference, see "Configuration of Transmit Queues" in
doc/guides/prog_guide/ethdev/ethdev.rst

-Scattered packets are not supported in this mode.
 If an incoming packet is greater than the maximum acceptable length of one "mbuf" data size (by default, the size is 2 KB),
 vPMD for RX would be disabled.
