> mlx5_mr_update_mp() was checking pktmbuf pool private flags.
> However, this function may be passed an MPRQ pool, which is not a pktmbuf pool and has no private data.
> Random data is accessed instead of pktmbuf flags, causing a crash.
> Move the flags check to the RxQ start and only for pools that are known to be of pktmbuf type.
