[PATCH dpdk] mbuf: fix strict aliasing error in allocator

[Robin Jarry]

When building an application with -fstrict-aliasing -Wstrict-aliasing=2,
we get errors triggered by rte_mbuf_raw_alloc() which is called inline
from rte_pktmbuf_alloc().

 ../dpdk/lib/mbuf/rte_mbuf.h: In function ‘rte_mbuf_raw_alloc’:
 ../dpdk/lib/mbuf/rte_mbuf.h:600:42: error: dereferencing type-punned
 pointer might break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
   600 |         if (rte_mempool_get(mp, (void **)&m) < 0)
       |                                          ^~

Avoid incorrect casting by changing the type of the returned variable.
