C++ does not allow zero-sized unions - they end up being of size 1-byte,
which leads to C/C++ compatibility issues, flagged by the compiler.

  lib/node/rte_node_mbuf_dynfield.h:78:2: error: union has size 0 in C,
size 1 in C++ [-Werror,-Wextern-c-compat]
   78 |         union {
	         |         ^
		 1 error generated.

Fix the error by omitting the persistent_data field when it is
zero-sized, since it's unusable. Any app using the field must already
specify a size for the persistent data.

Fixes: 746e8736da70 ("node: add global mbuf dynfield")
