From: Scott Mitchell <[email protected]>

- Use rte_pktmbuf_free_bulk() in TX path instead of individual
  rte_pktmbuf_free() calls for better batch efficiency
- Add unlikely() hints for error paths (oversized packets, VLAN
  insertion failures, sendto errors) to optimize branch prediction
- Remove unnecessary early nb_pkts == 0 when loop handles this
  and app may never call with 0 frames.
