[PATCH v2] examples/l3fwd: support setting the data size of mbuf

From: Long Wu <long.wu at corigine.com>

The previous code used a macro as the data size for mbuf
to create the mempool and users cannot modify the size.

Now modify the code to support setting the data size of
mbuf by '--mbuf-size' parameter. If user does not add the
parameter in start command line, the default size is still
'RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE'.

Examples:
dpdk-l3fwd -l 0-3 -- -p 0x03 --mbuf-size=4096

v2:
* Modify some logic following the advices of reviewer.
* Add the 'Acked-by' tag.
