[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] common/mlx5: fix build with -fno-common

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

The variable storages of the same name are merged together
if compiled with -fcommon. This is the default.
This default behaviour allows to declare a variable in a header file
and share the variable in every .o binaries thanks to merge at link-time.

In the case of dlopen linking of the glue library, the pointer mlx5_glue
is referencing the glue functions struct and is set after calling dlopen.

If compiling with -fno-common (default in GCC 10), the variable
must be declared as extern to avoid multiple re-definitions.
In case the glue layer is split in glue library, the variable mlx5_glue
needs to have its own storage for the rest of the PMD.
