In the non-mergeable receive case, when copy_mbuf_to_desc()
call fails the packet is skipped, the corresponding used element
len field is set to vnet header size, and it continues with next
packet/desc. It could be a problem because it does not know why it
failed, and assume the desc buffer is large enough.
In mergeable receive case, when copy_mbuf_to_desc_mergeable()
fails, packets burst is simply stopped.
This patch makes the non-mergeable error path to behave as the
mergeable one, as it seems the safest way. Also, doing this way
will simplify pending IOTLB miss requests handling.
