If in one TX cycle NIC does not send any packet, pktgen tries
to allocate 0 mbufs from pool. In such case DPDK return error
and packets will not be send. As no packet will be send in
next iteration this situation will repeat.

Checking if taking more mbufs is needed will prevent this situation.

Fixes: f034b381d19f ("cleanup and fix for FVL NIC performance")
