[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] igb: change default RX wthresh back

A problem is found on i350 VF. TX will happen once per 4
packets. If only 1~3 packets are received, they will not be
forwarded.

The reason is the default RX write-back threshold is changed
to 4. This patch changes the value back to 0, so every packet
can be handled immediately.

Fixes: 4a41c17dba18 (igb: set default thresholds based on MAC type)
