[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mlx5: Report imissed stat

[Tom Barbette]

The imissed counters (number of packets dropped because the queues were
full) were actually reported through xstats as "rx_out_of_buffer"
but was not reported through stats.

Following a recent discussion on the ML, as there is no way to tell the
user if a counter is implemented or not, this should be considered a
bug. Eg, user looking at imissed will think the packets are lost before
reaching the device.

As for xstats, I added a base counter to be able to "reset" imissed.
