Subject: [PATCH v2] net/i40e: fix avx2 driver check for rx rearm
This commit fixes an infinite loop bug that could occur if the i40e AVX2 driver
is used, and high traffic rates cause the mempool from which the rxq pulls
mbufs to become empty.
The result would be an infinite loop of checking if we should perform an rx
rearm, calling the function and an error return due the the mempool being emtpy.
The fix is to align the code in the AVX2 driver with the SSE driver, where an
if() is used instead of a while(), allowing the thread to return from i40e rx
function even if the mempool is empty.
