[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] test/pmd_perf: fix the way to drain the port

[Julien Meunier <julien.meunier@nokia.com>]

If the port has received less than ``pkt_per_port`` packets (for
example, the port has missed some packets), the test is in an infinite
loop.

Instead of expecting a number of packet to receive, let the port to be
drained by itself. If no more packets are received, the test can
continue.
