[PATCH] net/ice: set pkt prepare to dummy instead of NULL

[skori at marvell.com]

From: Sunil Kumar Kori <skori at marvell.com>

As per recent change by the following commit:

commit 066f3d9cc21c ("ethdev: remove callback checks from fast path")

framework unconditionally invokes dev->tx_pkt_prepare.
Due to this, ICE driver gets crashed as tx_pkt_prepare
was set to NULL during initialization.

Ensure dev->tx_pkt_prepare is not NULL when vector or simple
TX paths are selected, by assigning rte_eth_tx_pkt_prepare_dummy.

This aligns with expectations with above mentioned commit.

Bugzilla ID: 1795
