The kni header file includes the mbuf header file, but it does not need to do so as it only uses pointers to the struct rte_mbuf type, and does not use any of the mbuf internals, nor any of the mbuf functions or macros. Therefore the inclusion is unnecessary, and can be replaced by a forward declaration of the mbuf type.
