The function rte_vlan_insert may allocate a new buffer for the
vlan header and return a different mbuf than originally passed.
In this case, the stored mbuf in txm[] array could point to wrong
buffer.

Good catch. I think we have the same bug in virtio_xmit_pkts() and
virtio_xmit_pkts_inorder() and should fix these as well.

Thanks!
