Whether it is allowed to call Rx/Tx functions for a stopped queue
was undocumented. Some PMDs make this behavior a no-op
either by explicitly checking the queue state
or by the way how their routines are implemented or HW works.

No-op behavior may be convenient for application developers.
But it also means that pollers of stopped queues
would go all the way down to PMD Rx/Tx routines, wasting cycles.
Some PMDs would do a check for the queue state on data path,
even though it may never be needed for a particular application.
Also, use cases for stopping queues or starting them deferred
do not logically require polling stopped queues.

Use case 1: a secondary that was polling the queue has crashed,
the primary is doing a recovery to free all mbufs.
By definition the queue to be restarted is not polled.

Use case 2: deferred queue start or queue reconfiguration.
The polling thread must be synchronized anyway,
because queue start and stop are non-atomic.

Prohibit calling Rx/Tx functions on stopped queues.
