[dpdk-dev] kni: fix compilation issue on kernel 3.19

  Due to API changes in functions ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink
and igb_ndo_fdb_add in kernel 3.19, DPDK would not build.

This patch solves the problem, by checking the kernel version
and adding the necessary new parameters

You should explain in commit message why the change is not needed in #else
(!USE_CONST_DEV_UC_CHAR for version < 3.7).

A blank line is missing here.
Are you sure there is no macro defined in the Linux changes which could be
checked instead of version number? I dislike version checks because of
backport problems.

I am not aware of such macro in the kernel, unfortunately.
I just sent a v2.
