[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] mbuf: avoid cast-align warning in pktmbuf mtod offset macro

In rte_pktmbuf_mtod_offset macro, there is a casting from char * to type
't', which may cause cast-align warning when using gcc flags
'-Werror -Wcast-align':

.../include/rte_mbuf_core.h:723:3: error: cast increases required alignment
    of target type [-Werror=cast-align]
  723 |  ((t)((char *)(m)->buf_addr + (m)->data_off + (o)))
      |   ^

As the code assumes correct alignment, add first a (void *) casting, to
avoid the warning.
