[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/multi_process: fix buffer underrun

[Yongseok Koh <yskoh@mellanox.com>]

For client_server_mp, the total number of buffers for the mbuf mempool
should be correctly calculated. Otherwise, having more clients will stop
traffic.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")

* split up the calculation
