[PATCH v2 2/3] net/ixgbe: fix null packet prepare function

[Bruce Richardson]

As per recent change by the following commit:

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

framework unconditionally invokes dev->tx_pkt_prepare. 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.

Fixes: 7829b8d52be0 ("net/ixgbe: add Tx preparation")
