Logically suggested order make sense I agree, but both patches are fixing defect
and order won't help backporting them [1], so no strong opinion about order.

Overall this patch should be converted into fix defect with proper Fixes tag
independent from order.

Wenzhuo, what do you think? I would like to get this one for rc3!


[1]
This is older defect but I believe can't be backported cleanly into older stable
trees because of "PMD-tuned Tx/Rx parameters" patches in the middle. Downside
having this first prevents other patch to backported to closer stable trees.

Also having this patch first will require additional return value update in some
checks (nb_tx_q && nb_rx_q checks) in next patch, so for separation fixes this
order is clearer.
