Packets to be segmented with TSO are usually larger than MTU.
Plus, a single segment for the whole packet may be used: in OVS case,
an external rte_malloc'd buffer is used for packets received
from vhost-user ports.
Before this fix, TSO packets were dropped by net/iavf with the following
message:
2023-09-18T14:08:52.739Z|00610|dpdk(pmd-c31/id:11)|ERR|iavf_prep_pkts():
INVALID mbuf: bad data_len=[2962]
Remove the check on data_len.
Fixes: 19ee91c6bd9a ("net/iavf: check illegal packet sizes")
