test: ff_dpdk_if_send NULL ctx guard regression (FU-CB-DPDKIF-NULLGUARD)

unit test_ff_dpdk_if +2 TC:
  - ff_dpdk_if_send(NULL, NULL, 0) returns -1 without crashing
  - ff_dpdk_if_send(NULL, dummy_mbuf, 100) returns -1 + frees mbuf

integration test_ff_dpdk_if_integration +1 TC:
  - ff_dpdk_if_send(NULL, NULL, 0) post real EAL init must not crash

11 unit binaries / 142 TC / 0 SKIP / 0 FAIL.
1 integration binary / 8 TC / 0 SKIP / 0 FAIL.
valgrind clean across both suites.
