[PATCH v4 14/19] net/ixgbe: remove use of VLAs for Windows built code

[Andre Muezerie]

From: Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla at linux.microsoft.com>

MSVC does not support VLAs, replace VLAs with standard C arrays
or alloca(). alloca() is available for all toolchain/platform
combinations officially supported by DPDK.
