[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] event/sw: simplify credit scheme

[Gage Eads <gage.eads@intel.com>]

This commit modifies the sw PMD credit scheme such that credits are
consumed when enqueueing a NEW event and released when an event is
released -- typically, the beginning and end of a pipeline. Workers that
simply forward events do not interact with the credit pool.
