[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 2/2] net/mlx5: fix instruction hotspot on replenishing Rx buffer

[Yongseok Koh <yskoh@mellanox.com>]

On replenishing Rx buffers for vectorized Rx, mbuf->buf_addr isn't needed
to be accessed as it is static and easily calculated from the mbuf address.
Accessing the mbuf content causes unnecessary load stall and it is worsened
on ARM.

Fixes: 545b884b1da3 ("net/mlx5: fix buffer address posting in SSE Rx")

v5:
* no change

v4:
* no change

v3:
* rte_mbuf_buf_addr_default() -> rte_mbuf_buf_addr()

v2:
* use the newly introduced API - rte_mbuf_buf_addr_default()
* fix error in assert
