[PATCH] node: fix C++ compatibility errors (option 2)

C++ does not allow zero-sized unions - they end up being of size 1-byte,
which leads to C/C++ compatibility issues, flagged by the compiler.
lib/node/rte_node_mbuf_dynfield.h:78:2: error: union has size 0 in C,
size 1 in C++ [-Werror,-Wextern-c-compat]
78 | union {
| ^
1 error generated.
Fix the error by omitting the persistent_data field when it is
zero-sized, since it's unusable. Any app using the field must already
specify a size for the persistent data.
Fixes: 746e8736da70 ("node: add global mbuf dynfield")
