[PATCH] examples/ptpclient: fix delay request message

From: Vanshika Shukla <vanshika.shukla at nxp.com>

The size of delay request message sent out by the DPDK
ptpclient application was observed to have extra length
than expected. Due to this, bad messages were observed
on the master side and delay response was not received.
This patch fixes this bug.

Fixes: ab129e9065a5 ("examples/ptpclient: add minimal PTP client")

Changes in v2:
 - Added a check on available size in allocated buffer
 - Created the right type of pointer when sending DELAY_REQ packet
