Still not sure about enforcing MTU on pcap, but please find comments on 
mechanical issues

Is documentation needs to be updated as well?

And what do you think to update release notes for this update?

'rte_eth_devices[]' needs to be used for 'process_private' but lets not 
tie it to access 'dev_private'.

You can add "struct pmd_internals *" to the "struct pcap_rx_queue" & 
"struct pcap_tx_queue" structs for the access. Please check null PMD for 
sample.

It is possible to save only some part of the packet to the pcap file, 
please check snaplen patch [1], how MTU config should work with this 
feature?

Normally a PMD should not silently free a packet itself, it should 
return error and application will decide to free the packet or not.

Please follow coding convention to have return type in a separate line:
   static int
   eth_mtu_set(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, uint16_t mtu)
   {

Can you please move the log after variable declerations. And can be good 
to capitilise MTU in the log.
