On Rx queue creation the mlx5 PMD registers the data buffers of the
specified pools for DMA operations. It scans the mem_list of the pools
and creates the MRs (DMA related NIC objects) for the chunks found.
If the pool is created with rte_pktmbuf_pool_create_extbuf() and
refers to the external attached buffers (whose are in the area of
application responsibility and it should explicitly register the
data buffer memory for DMA with rte_dev_dma_map() call) the chunks
contain the mbuf structures only, w/o any built-in data buffers.
Hence, DMA with mlx5 NIC never happens to this area and there is
no need to create MRs for these ones.
The extra not needed MRs were created for the pools with external
buffers causing MR cache load and performance was slightly affected.
The patch checks the mbuf pool type and skips MR creation for the
pools with external buffers.
