The __hws_cnt_r2rcpy() function copies elements from one zero-copy ring
to another zero-copy ring in place.
This routine needs to consider the situation that the address was given
by source and destination could be both wrapped.
It uses 4 different "n" local variables to manage it:
- n: Number of elements to copy in total.
- n1: Number of elements to copy from ptr1, it is the minimal value
from source/dest n1 field.
- n2: Number of elements to copy from src->ptr1 to dst->ptr2 or from
src->ptr2 to dst->ptr1, this variable is 0 when both source and
dest n1 field are equal.
- n3: Number of elements to copy from src->ptr2 to dst->ptr2.
The function copies the first n1 elements. If n2 isn't zero it copies
more elements and check whether n3 is zero.
This logic is wrong since n3 may be bigger than zero even when n2 is
zero. This scenario is commonly happening in counters when the internal
mlx5 service thread copies elements from the reset ring into the reuse
ring.
This patch changes the function to copy n3 regardless of n2 value.
