[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH 2/8] ethdev: remove inclusion of rte_mbuf.h

[Bruce Richardson]

The ethdev header file includes the mbuf header file, but it does not
need to do so as it only uses pointers to the struct rte_mbuf type, and
does not use any of the mbuf internals, nor any of the mbuf functions or
macros. Therefore the inclusion is unnecessary, and can be replaced by a
forward declaration of the mbuf type.
