Sanity checking a reinitialized mbuf (a.k.a. raw mbuf) has been refactored
to follow the same design pattern as sanity checking a normal mbuf, and
now depends on RTE_LIBRTE_MBUF_DEBUG instead of RTE_ENABLE_ASSERT.

The details of the changes are as follows:

Non-inlined functions rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check() and rte_mbuf_raw_check()
have been added.
They do for a reinitialized mbuf what rte_mbuf_sanity_check() and
rte_mbuf_check() do for a normal mbuf.
They basically check the same conditions as __rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check()
previously did, but use "if (!condition) rte_panic(message)" instead of
RTE_ASSSERT(), so they don't depend on RTE_ENABLE_ASSERT.

The inline function __rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check() has been replaced
by the new macro __rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check_mp(), which either calls
rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check() or does nothing, depending on
RTE_LIBRTE_MBUF_DEBUG, just like the __rte_mbuf_sanity_check() macro does
for a normal mbuf.

Note that the new macro __rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check_mp() takes an optional
mempool parameter to verify that the mbuf belongs to the expected mbuf
pool.
This addition is mainly relevant for sanity checking reinitialized mbufs
freed directly into a given mempool by a PMD when using
RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE.

The macro __rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check() has been kept for backwards API
compatibility.
It simply calls __rte_mbuf_raw_sanity_check_mp() without specifying a
mempool.
