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.

According to rte_gro.h the maximum supported burst size is

#define RTE_GRO_MAX_BURST_ITEM_NUM 128U
/**< the max number of packets that rte_gro_reassemble_burst()
 
And it looks like the code already truncates at that.
