[PATCH v1] net/vhost: clear data of packet mbuf after sending pkts

[Yuying Zhang]

The PMD frees a packet mbuf back into its original mempool
after sending a packet. However, old data is not cleaned up
which causes error in payload of new packets. This patch clear
data of packet mbuf before freeing mbuf.
