[PATCH v2 2/6] pcapng: add additional mbuf if space required on copy

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

If comment is passed to rte_pcapng_copy(), additional space
maybe needed at the end of the mbuf. To handle this case generate
a segmented mbuf with additional space for the options.
