[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/i40e: set no drop for traffic class

[rory.sexton@intel.com]

From: Rory Sexton <rory.sexton@intel.com>

The default traffic class in i40e is set to drop versus on ixgbe
it isset to no drop. This means when packets build up in the RX
SRAM on the NIC, they are dropped, and they do this when the SW
descriptor rings fill up.

This patch changes this behaviour and our testing shows there
are no drops as a result.
