The HW objects of the Tx queue is created/destroyed in the device
start\stop stage while the ethdev configurations for the Tx queue
starts from the tx_queue_setup stage.
The PMD should save all the last configurations it got from the ethdev
and to apply them to the device in the dev_start operation.
Wrongly, last code added to mitigate the reference counters didn't take
into account the above rule and combined the configurations and HW
objects to be created\destroyed together.
This causes to memory leak and other memory issues.
Make sure the HW object is released in stop operation when there is no
any reference to it while the configurations stay saved.
