What I did

Put a very small shared buffer pool size when shared pool is detected enabling.

Why I did it

Avoid a timing issue like following:

  1. the buffer pool sizes, xoff have initialized to 0, which means the shared headroom pool is disabled
  2. but the buffer profiles already indicate the shared headroom pool is enabled
  3. later on the buffer pool sizes are updated with xoff being non-zero

In case the orchagent starts handling buffer configuration between 2 and 3, it is inconsistent between buffer pools and profiles, which fails Mellanox SAI sanity check and causes orchagent abort

How I verified it

Manual test
Run sonic-mgmt regression
