Rather than splitting, we can still fix this by breaking the dependency by
just not having rte_debug.h included in rte_pci.h. From what I see, there
is no need for that include to be there, and DPDK pretty much compiles fine
with it removed - the only other change I had to make was add an extra
include into mlx5_common.h to compensate for it not getting pulled in via
rte_pci.h.

Generally, while we should ensure that each header includes any other
headers it depends upon, we must be careful that headers don't include
other headers that they don't directly use.
