patch 'net/ipn3ke: fix xstats get return if xstats is null' has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/13/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/6682fda5b37e3d31ec2a64901c4b8b112c9d1019

Thanks.

Kevin

[ upstream commit e17cb41db7656121f5809e353f8db126b026fbb4 ]

Many user (e.g. telemetry) invokes rte_eth_xstats_get(port_id, NULL, 0)
to retrieve the required number of elements, but currently ipn3ke PMD
returns zero when xstats is null.

Dedicated check for xstats vs null is not required, since ethdev layer
guarantees that it may be null only if number of entries n is 0 (which
is definitely smaller than total xstats count).

Fixes: 5a6d883878db ("net/ipn3ke: implement statistics")
