The initial role of rte_ctrlmbuf is to carry generic messages (data
pointer + data length) but it's not used by the DPDK or it applications.
Keeping it implies:
- loosing 1 byte in the rte_mbuf structure
- having some dead code rte_mbuf.[ch]
This patch removes this feature. Thanks to it, it is now possible to
simplify the rte_mbuf structure by merging the rte_pktmbuf structure
in it. This is done in next commit.

* Updated patch to HEAD.
* Modified patch to retain the old function names for ctrl mbufs as
macros. This helps with app compatibility, and allows the concept
of a control mbuf to be reintroduced via a single-bit flag in
a future change.
* Updated the packet framework ip_pipeline example application to
work following this change.

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].

Now that we've converted all the pmds in dpdk to use the driver registration
macro, rte_pmd_init_all has become empty. As theres no reason to keep it around
anymore, just remove it and fix up all the eample callers.
