[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] test: fix test_tlb_tx_burst

[Michal Jastrzebski]

Test failed on verification if number of bytes
transmitted on each slave is not less than 90%
and greater than 110% of mean value of bytes transmitted
thru one slave. This was verified on a real system
but is difficult to achieve using virtualpmd.
That's why for unit tests only, it is sufficient to verify that with
high load (2 seconds transsmission) all slaves are trasnitting
so the traffic is balanced.

v2 changes:
- improved description
- reverted number of packets generated (in v1 it was decreased,
	but to achieve balancing it has to be high load).
