[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix invalid memory access

From: Sunil Kumar Kori <skori at marvell.com>

During parsing of DSCP entries, memory is allocated and assgined
to *dscp_table. Later on, same memory is accessed using
*dscp_table[i++].

Due to higher precedence for array subscript, dscp_table[i++] will
be executed first which actually does not point to the same memory
which was allocated previously for DSCP table entries.

Fixes: e63b50162aa3 ("app/testpmd: clean metering and policing commands")
