[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/enic: fix possible Rx corruption

Initialize the mbuf data offset to RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM as the
enic takes ownership of them. If allocated mbufs had some offset
other than RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM, the application would read mbuf
data starting at the wrong place and misinterpret the packet.

Fixes: 856d7ba7ed22 ("net/enic: support scattered Rx")

Please include this patch in 16.07 since the bug found in late testing
can cause data corruption.
