[PATCH v2 3/4] net/mlx5: remove weak stub functions

> The vector Rx functions are conditionally compiled.
> Some stub functions were also always compiled with weak attribute.
> If there is no vector support, the weak functions were linked.
> 
> These weak functions are moved in a specific file
> which is compiled only if there is no vector support.
> This way it is simpler to understand,
> and the weak attributes can be removed.
> 
> This change helps to compile with MinGW GCC
> which has no support for weak functions.

Can "is_linux" be dropped now?
I suspect that vector routines were compiled only for Linux
to prevent linker errors from both weak and non-weak symbols present,
not because vector code is somehow Linux-specific.
