Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: fix type and scope of variables in Rx burst

[ upstream commit 3291abb5a2a5f24c109ab74e6aad0545927333a7 ]

GCC 8.1 warned:

In function 'rte_eth_rx_burst':
rte_ethdev.h:3836:18: warning: conversion to 'int16_t'
{aka 'short int'} from 'uint16_t' {aka 'short unsigned int'}

  return nb_rx;
         ^~~~~

The second part of the patch is solved by its own basic
block because it is inside a preprocessor conditional.

Bringing the declaration of the var to the top of the
function would require that also being given its own
preprocessor conditional, or a (void)var to avoid an
unused var warning.  The basic block is no worse than
those imho.

Fixes: 467465d86df1 ("ethdev: add packet count parameter to Rx callback")
Fixes: 4dc294158cac ("ethdev: support optional Rx and Tx callbacks")
