Further refine the commit log in dpdk-next-net-intel as below base on Thomas's
comment:
If PF driver don't support a flex Rx descriptor that required by VF,
legacy descriptor format will be negotiated to configure the hardware
queue.
The patch fixes the issue when an Rx data path that handle flexible
descriptor (e.g.:
iavf_recv_scattered_pkts_vec_avx512_flex_rxd) is selected while the
actual hardware queues are configured as legacy due to above scenario,
which will cause following coredump.
