[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix wrong mbuf alloc count in kni_allocate_mbufs

From: Yunjian Wang <redacted>

In kni_allocate_mbufs(), we alloc mbuf for alloc_q as this code.
allocq_free = (kni->alloc_q->read - kni->alloc_q->write - 1) \
		& (MAX_MBUF_BURST_NUM - 1);
The value of allocq_free maybe zero (e.g 32 & (32 - 1) = 0), and
it will not fill the alloc_q. When the alloc_q's free count is
zero, it will drop the packet in kernel kni.

In this patch, we set the allocq_free as the min between
MAX_MBUF_BURST_NUM and the free count of the alloc_q.
