net/i40e: fix rearm check in AVX2 Rx

This commit fixes an infinite loop bug that could occur
if the i40e AVX2 driver is used, and high traffic rates
cause the mempool from which the rxq pulls mbufs to become
empty.

The result would be an infinite loop of checking if we
should perform an rx rearm, calling the function and an
error return due the the mempool being emtpy.

The fix is to align the code in the AVX2 driver with the
SSE driver, where an if() is used instead of a while(),
allowing the thread to return from i40e rx function even
if the mempool is empty.
