[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] ixgbe: don't override mbuf buffer length

The template mbuf_initializer is hard coded with a buflen which
might have been set differently by the application at the time of
mbuf pool creation.

Switch to a mbuf allocation, to fetch the correct default values.
There is no performance impact because this is not a data-plane API.
