[dpdk-dev] [DPDK] net/ixgbe: fix missing Port Representor data-path callbacks

[dpdk-dev] [DPDK] net/ixgbe: fix missing Port Representor data-path callbacks

[Remy Horton]

This patch adds Rx and Tx burst functions to the ixgbe
Port Representors, so that the implementation within
ixgbe PMD can be tested using applications such as
testpmd which require data-path functionality.

Fixes: cf80ba6e2038 ("net/ixgbe: add support for representor ports")

We should not free them in the driver silently whereas the application 
will think that it has been sent successfully.
Please use the same rule for rx_burst, and return 0.
