viritio patch

In a virtual machine scenario running a DPDK application with virtio drivers, when the host machine adjusted the guest VM's transmit/receive queue size from 1024 to 4096, the DPDK application's allocated 2048 mbufs became insufficient. After this adjustment, the condition vq->vq_nentries - vq->vq_free_thresh was never triggered, resulting in the cleanup operation not occurring.

virtio_dev_rx_queue_setup the third param nb_desc is not used when vq->vq_free_cnt great then nb_desc. vq->vq_free_cnt is assigned a value through vq->n_nentries when virtio driver has inited. i40e driver vq has a nb_rx_desc value, our dpdk app nb_desc setup 2048, malloc 2048 mbufs, so our dpdk app rx/tx burst is failed on the line.
