[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 18.11] net/tap: fix mbuf double free when writev fails

[Yunjian Wang]

[ upstream commit 710aa4279097e9ee5a131b7e0732e5a8ef8bcfc1 ]

When the tap_write_mbufs() function return with break, mbuf was freed
without increasing num_packets, which could cause applications to free
the mbuf again. And the pmd_tx_burst() function should returns the
number of original packets it actually sent excluding tso mbufs.

Fixes: 9396ad334672 ("net/tap: fix reported number of Tx packets")
