[dpdk-dev,v2] ixgbe: don't override mbuf buffer length

  The template mbuf_initializer is hard coded with a buflen which
might have been set differently by the application at the time of
mbuf pool creation.

Switch to a mbuf allocation, to fetch the correct default values.
There is no performance impact because this is not a data-plane API.

While I realise the debate is still ongoing, this approach looks fine to me.
