m->nb_seg must be reset on mbuf free whatever the value of m->next,
because it can happen that m->nb_seg is != 1. For instance in this
case:

  m1 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
  rte_pktmbuf_append(m1, 500);
  m2 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
  rte_pktmbuf_append(m2, 500);
  rte_pktmbuf_chain(m1, m2);
  m0 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
  rte_pktmbuf_append(m0, 500);
  rte_pktmbuf_chain(m0, m1);

As rte_pktmbuf_chain() does not reset nb_seg in the initial m1
segment (this is not required), after this code the mbuf chain
have 3 segments:
  - m0: next=m1, nb_seg=3
  - m1: next=m2, nb_seg=2
  - m2: next=NULL, nb_seg=1

Freeing this mbuf chain will not restore nb_seg=1 in the second
segment. This is expected that mbufs stored in pool have their
nb_seg field set to 1.

Fixes: 8f094a9ac5d7 ("mbuf: set mbuf fields while in pool")
