[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix partial inline of fine grain packets

[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix partial inline of fine grain packets

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

Assuming a user tried to send multi-segment packets, with
RTE_PMD_MLX5_FINE_GRANULARITY_INLINE flag set, using a device with
minimum inlining requirements (such as ConnectX-4 Lx or when user
specified them explicitly), sending such packets caused segfault.
Segfault was caused by failed invariants in
mlx5_tx_packet_multi_inline function.

This patch introduces a logic for multi-segment packets, with
RTE_PMD_MLX5_FINE_GRANULARITY_INLINE flag set, to omit mbuf scanning for
filling inline buffer and inline only minimal amount of data required.
