The mlx4 PMD tracks the buffers (mbufs) for the packets being
transmitted in the dedicated array named as "elts". The tx_burst
routine frees the mbufs from this array once it needs to rearm
the hardware descriptor and store the new mbuf, so it looks
like as replacement mbuf pointer in the elts array.
On the device stop mlx4 PMD freed only the part of elts according
tail and head pointers, leaking the rest of buffers, remained in
the elts array.
