[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/octeontx: fix failures when available ports > queues

When eth_octeontx is initialized before event_octeontx, eth_octeontx
would initiate setting up of the event device with the max ports and
queues available. If number of ports is more than the number of queues,
some ports would be left unused when the ports and queues are mapped
1:1. But even in that case the ports need to be setup, or otherwise it
would lead to a segmentation fault when event device is started.

Fixes: f7be70e5130e ("net/octeontx: add net device probe and remove")
