[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix Tx when first segment size is too short

[Nelio Laranjeiro <nelio.laranjeiro@6wind.com>]

First segment size must be 18 bytes, packets not respecting this are
silently not sent by the NIC but counted as sent by the PMD.
The only way to figure out is compiling the PMD in debug mode.
