  n_err reflects the number of packets that the driver did not manage to
send.
This is a temporary situation, those packets are not freed and the
application can still retry to send them later.
Hence, we can't count them as transmit failed.

Fixes: 09c7e63a71f9 ("net/memif: introduce memory interface PMD")

Changelog since v1:
- dropped the n_err counter entirely as nothing reports it
