[PATCH v6 11/20] net/ice: remove use of VLAs

[Andre Muezerie <andremue@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@huawei.com>

../drivers/net/ice/ice_rxtx.c:1871:29: warning:
    variable length array used [-Wvla]

Here VLA is used as a temp array for mbufs that will be used as a split
RX data buffers.
As at any given time only one thread can do RX from particular queue,
at rx_queue_setup() we can allocate extra space for that array, and then
safely use it at RX fast-path.
