  Build error seen with Linux kernel 5.1 and
when CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL is enabled.

Build error:
.../dpdk/build/build/kernel/linux/kni/igb_main.c:2352:18:
  error: initialization of ... from incompatible pointer type ...
  [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
    .ndo_fdb_add  = igb_ndo_fdb_add,
                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ndo_fdb_add() is changed in Linux kernel version 5.1 and now requires
a new parameter, 'struct netlink_ext_ack *extack':
Linux Commit 87b0984ebfab ("net: Add extack argument to ndo_fdb_add()")

ndo_fdb_add() parameter updated with compile time Linux kernel version
check.

Thanks, Ferruh.

This allows my builds to start passing again on bleeding-edge kernels.

Thanks.
Checked build with CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL=y
after applying the patch, build was done against the bleeding edge of
net-next of today (kernel 5.1-rc4).
Build of the kni kernel module completed successfully.
