It's hard to debug situations where driver rejects packets for some
reason.  Dumping out the mbuf should help with that.

Sample output looks like this:

  |netdev_dpdk(pmd-c03/id:8)|DBG|ovs-p1: First invalid packet:
  dump mbuf at 0x1180bce140, iova=0x2cb7ce400, buf_len=2176
    pkt_len=64, ol_flags=0x2, nb_segs=1, port=65535, ptype=0
    segment at 0x1180bce140, data=0x1180bce580, len=90, off=384, refcnt=1

Version 2:
  * Only dumping the first invalid packet as we don't actually
    know if the other ones correct or not.  [Kevin]

Also, we may want to have this backported to 3.3 and maybe 3.2,
as I suspect those will be branches where will will actually have
to debug offloading rejection issues.  We already have a few.
For example: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs-issues/issues/321
for which I actually prepared this patch in the first place.

This is a debug-only change that should not have any impact
on end users.

Thoughts?
