[PATCH v9 09/21] gro: remove use of VLAs

[Andre Muezerie <andremue@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@huawei.com>

../lib/gro/rte_gro.c:182:34: warning:
    variable length array used [-Wvla]
../lib/gro/rte_gro.c:363:34: warning:
    variable length array used [-Wvla]

In both cases the pattern is the same: we use unprocess_pkts[nb_pkts] to
collect un-used by GRO packets, and then copy them to the start of
input/output pkts[] array.
In both cases, we can safely copy pkts[i] into already
processed entry at the same array, i.e. into pkts[unprocess_num].
Such change eliminates need of temporary VLA: unprocess_pkts[nb_pkts].
