[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/4] net/mlx5: fix num seg assumption on vPMD

[Shahaf Shuler <shahafs@mellanox.com>]

vPMD Tx function assumes that after the scatter of the
multi-segment packets the next packet will be a single segment packet.

This is not current as the function can return due to lack of resources
without sending all of the multi-segment mbufs sequence.
