[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/tap: fix flow and port commands

This commit fixes two bugs related to tap devices. The first bug occurs
when executing in testpmd the following flow rule assuming tap device has
4 rx and tx pair queues
"flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / end actions queue index 5 / end"
This command will report on success and will print ""Flow rule #0 created"
although it should have failed as queue index number 5 does not exist

The second bug occurs when executing in testpmd "port start all" following
a port configuration. Assuming 1 pair of rx and tx queues an error is
reported: "Fail to start port 0"

Before this commit a fixed max number (16) of rx and tx queue pairs were
created on startup where the file descriptors (fds) of rx and tx pairs were
identical.  As a result in the first bug queue index 5 existed because the
tap device was created with 16 rx and tx queue pairs regardless of the
configured number of queues. In the second bug when tap device was started
tx fd was closed before opening it and executing ioctl() on it. However
closing the sole fd of the device caused ioctl to fail with "No such
device".

This commit creates the configured number of rx and tx queue pairs (up to
max 16) and assigns a unique fd to each queue. It was written to solve the
first bug and was found as the right fix for the second bug as well.

Fixes: 02f96a0a82d1 ("net/tap: add TUN/TAP device PMD")
Fixes: bf7b7f437b49 ("net/tap: create netdevice during probing")
Fixes: de96fe68ae95 ("net/tap: add basic flow API patterns and actions")

Removing this piece of code is causing failure during tap device initialization and testpmd as well.
The subsequent code following this removal contains hundreds of lines so I prefer getting Pasca
advise why the immediate creation is required here and if possible - how to avoid it.
