The user is allowed to call ->rx_pkt_burst() even without free
mbufs in the pool. In this scenario we'll fail allocating a rep mbuf
on the first iteration (where pkt is still NULL). This would cause us
to deref a NULL pkt (reset refcount and free).
Fix this by checking the pkt before freeing it.

In mlx5 rx function, the packet_type and ol_flags mbuf fields are not
properly initialized when no rx offload feature is enabled (checksum, l2
tun checksum, vlan_strip, crc). Thus, these fields can have a value
different of 0 depending on their value when the mbuf was freed.
This can result in an incorrect application behavior if invalid
ol_flags/ptype are set, or memory corruptions if IND_ATTACHED_MBUF is
set in ol_flags.

This commit brings back Rx scatter and related support by the MTU update
function. The maximum number of segments per packet is not a fixed value
anymore (previously MLX5_PMD_SGE_WR_N, set to 4 by default) as it caused
performance issues when fewer segments were actually needed as well as
limitations on the maximum packet size that could be received with the
default mbuf size (supporting at most 8576 bytes).
These limitations are now lifted as the number of SGEs is derived from the
MTU (which implies MRU) at queue initialization and during MTU update.

Compared to its previous incarnation, the software limit on the number of
mbuf segments is no more (previously MLX5_PMD_SGE_WR_N, set to 4 by
default) hence no need for linearization code and related buffers that
permanently consumed a non negligible amount of memory to handle oversized
mbufs.
The resulting code is both lighter and faster.
With the addition of this code, older GCC versions (such
as 4.8.5) may complain about 'wqe' variable being uninitialized, so
initialize it preemptively, even though it is not necessary to do so.

Mini (compressed) completion queue entries (CQEs) are returned by the
NIC when PCI back pressure is detected, in which case the first CQE64
contains common packet information followed by a number of CQE8
providing the rest, followed by a matching number of empty CQE64
entries to be used by software for decompression.
Before decompression:
0 1 2 6 7 8
+-------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 |

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.
Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.
For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.
This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:
- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done (vector and normal), the old flag was set
when a vlan was recognized, even if vlan stripping was disabled.
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.
For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the behavior was
already correct, so we can reuse the same bit value for
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

Introduce rte_mempool_populate_default() which allocates
mempool objects in several memzones.
The mempool header is now always allocated in a specific memzone
(not with its objects). Thanks to this modification, we can remove
many specific behavior that was required when hugepages are not
enabled in case we are using rte_mempool_xmem_create().
This change requires to update how kni and mellanox drivers lookup for
mbuf memory. For now, this will only work if there is only one memory
chunk (like today), but we could make use of rte_mempool_mem_iter() to
support more memory chunks.
We can also remove RTE_MEMPOOL_OBJ_NAME that is not required anymore for
the lookup, as memory chunks are referenced by the mempool.
Note that rte_mempool_create() is still broken (it was the case before)
when there is no hugepages support (rte_mempool_create_xmem() has to be
used). This is fixed in next commit.

Now that the mempool objects are chained into a list, we can use it to

is kept as a private function, and renamed in this commit. It will be
removed in a next commit of the patch series.
The only internal users of this function are the mellanox drivers. The
code is updated accordingly.
Introducing an API compatibility for this function has been considered,
but it is not easy to do without keeping the old code, as the previous
function could also be used to browse elements that were not added in a
mempool. Moreover, the API is already be broken by other patches in this

The new Verbs RSS API is lower-level than the previous one and much more
flexible but requires RX queues to use Work Queues (WQs) internally instead
of Queue Pairs (QPs), which are grouped in an indirection table used by a
new kind of hash RX QPs.
Hash RX QPs and the indirection table together replace the parent RSS QP
while WQs are mostly similar to child QPs.
RSS hash key is not configurable yet.
Summary of changes:
- Individual DPDK RX queues do not store flow properties anymore, this info
is now part of the hash RX queues.
- All functions affecting the parent queue when RSS is enabled or the basic
queues otherwise are modified to affect hash RX queues instead.
- Hash RX queues are also used when a single DPDK RX queue is configured (no
RSS) to remove that special case.
- Hash RX queues and indirection table are created/destroyed when device
is started/stopped in addition to create/destroy flows.
- Contrary to QPs, WQs are moved to the "ready" state before posting RX
buffers, otherwise they are ignored.
- Resource domain information is added to WQs for better performance.
- CQs are not resized anymore when switching between non-SG and SG modes as
it does not work correctly with WQs. Use the largest possible size
instead, since CQ size does not have to be the same as the number of
elements in the RX queue. This also applies to the maximum number of
outstanding WRs in a WQ (max_recv_wr).
