Subject: [PATCH] pktgen: Remove VLA usage

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <[email-masked]>

In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA usage and replace it
with a fixed-length array instead.

David,

I'm not sure how often this function is being called and,
depending on the frequency it may be worth to use
dynamic memory allocation instead?

Thanks
