net/mlx5: fix minimum number of Multi-Packet RQ buffers
If MPRQ is enabled, a PMD-private mempool is allocated. For ConnectX-4 Lx,
the minimum number of strides is 512 which ConnectX-5 supports 8. This
results in quite small number of elements for the MPRQ mempool. For
example, if the size of Rx ring is configured as 512, only one MPRQ buffer
can cover the whole ring. If there's only one Rx queue is configured. In
the following code in mlx5_mprq_alloc_mp(), desc is 1 and obj_num will be
36 as a result.
desc *= 4;
obj_num = desc + MLX5_MPRQ_MP_CACHE_SZ * priv->rxqs_n;
However, rte_mempool_create_empty() has a sanity check to refuse large
per-lcore cache size compared to the number of elements. Cache flush
threshold should not exceed the number of elements of a mempool. For the
above example, the threshold is 32 * 1.5 = 48 which is larger than 36 and
it fails to create the mempool.
