This patch adds support of the mbuf fast free offload to the
transmit datapath. This offload allows to free the mbufs on
transmit completion in the most efficient way. It requires
the all mbufs were allocated from the same pool, have
the reference counter value as 1, and have no any externally
attached buffers.
