  Previously, KNI kernel module uses the difference between m->buf_addr
and m->buf_iova to calculate userspace virtual address from physical
address. This works for direct mbufs, but does not work for indirect
(cloned) mbufs that come from another mempool. Transmitting a cloned
mbuf may cause segmentation fault in userspace.

Now, userspace KNI library writes the virtual address of each mbuf
in m->userdata field, and KNI kernel module uses this field to restore
virtual address before putting mbuf into free_q. This approach works
for both direct and indirect mbufs.

NOTE TO REVIEWER - DO NOT MERGE
The idea of this change is at https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183#c4
Test case is at https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183#c5
I only modified kni_net_rx_normal function.
If this approach is acceptable, I will modify kni_net_rx_lo_fifo,
kni_net_rx_lo_fifo_skb, and kni_fifo_trans_pa2va(rx_q) as well.

Bugzilla ID: 183
