[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v1] net/tap: fix blocked rx packets error

[Marcin Smoczynski <marcinx.smoczynski@intel.com>]

When OS sends more packets than are beaing read with a single
'rte_eth_rx_burst' call, rx packets are getting stucked in the tap pmd
and are unable to receive, because trigger_seen is getting updated
and consecutive calls are not getting any packets.

Do not update trigger_seen unless less than a max number of packets were
received allowing next call to receive the rest.

Fixes: a0d8e807d9 ("net/tap: add Rx trigger")
