net/mlx5: fix legacy non-inline multi-packet performance

The legacy multi-packet write is the feature allowing to
put multiple packets into one transmitting descriptor,
this feature is supported by only NIC ConnectX-4LX.
The number of packets should be limited to provide
optimal size descriptor and better performance.
