[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH 7/8] table: remove header inclusion of rte_mbuf.h

The rte_table 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.
