Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix redundant free of Tx buffer

[ upstream commit c80711c3fbfdae1449ad1cbc6b31067087bd9561 ]

SW completion ring of Tx (txq->elts) stores individual mbufs even if a
multi-segmented packet is sent. rte_pktmbuf_free_seg() must be used when
cleaning up the completion ring. Otherwise, chained mbufs are redundantly
freed and finally it would cause a crash.

Fixes: 1d88ba171942 ("net/mlx5: refactor Tx data path")
