netdev-dpdk: Fix incorrect shinfo initialization.
shinfo is used to store reference counter and free callback of an external buffer, but it is stored in mbuf if the mbuf has tailroom for it. This is wrong because the mbuf (and its data) can be freed before the external buffer, for example: pkt2 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp); rte_pktmbuf_attach(pkt2, pkt); rte_pktmbuf_free(pkt); After this, pkt is freed, but it still contains shinfo, which is referenced by pkt2. This sequence of operations is possible inside DPDK e.g., while performing TSO operations for 'net_tap' PMD. Fix this by always storing shinfo at the tail of external buffer.
