Instead of creating a new root level, 'tx_done_cleanup' command, what do you 
think to use existing port command, something like:

"port cleanup <port_id> txq <queue_id> <free_cnt>"

If 'free_cnt' is '0', driver should free all possible mbufs, can you add this 
detail to help?

Should there be a check to see if testpmd forwarding is stared or not?
This API shouldn't be allowed when forwarding is started.
