[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mbuf: rename Tx VLAN flags

[Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>]

For consistency with the Rx flags, the flags PKT_TX_VLAN_PKT and
PKT_TX_QINQ_PKT are respectively renamed as PKT_TX_VLAN and
PKT_TX_QINQ. The old defines are deprecated but will stay for some time
for compatibility.
