  In rte_vlan_insert there is a casting of rte_pktmbuf_prepend returned
value to (struct rte_ether_hdr *), which causes cast-align warning when
using gcc flags '-Werror -Wcast-align':

In file included from .../include/rte_ethdev.h:165,
                 from lib/netdev-dpdk.c:33:
.../include/rte_ether.h: In function 'rte_vlan_insert':
.../include/rte_ether.h:375:7: error: cast increases required alignment
    of target type [-Werror=cast-align]
  375 |  nh = (struct rte_ether_hdr *)
      |       ^

As the code assumes correct alignment, add first a (void *) casting, to
avoid the warning.

Fixes: c974021a5949 ("ether: add soft vlan encap/decap")
