The ip_frag library had a couple of issues found during review.
The use of TAILQ made assumptions about TAILQ_REMOVE,
and the hash function usage could be abused by attacker.

The frag table next pointer was being access after TAILQ_REMOVE().
This is not safe since it depends on TAILQ_REMOVE() not changing
next pointer. Fix by using RTE_TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE().

Both ipv4_frag_hash() and ipv6_frag_hash() use CRC32 (x86/ARM)
or jhash with a fixed, publicly known prime seed (0xeaad8405).
An attacker who can send crafted IP fragments can precompute hash
collisions, causing all fragments to land in the same bucket.
After bucket_entries concurrent flows collide, new flows are dropped.
Fix by using a random hash seed added at table creation time.
