Found an upstream fix, backported and tested.

All checks passed, upload will be part of bug 1625009 (debdiff is there)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package dpdk - 16.07-0ubuntu3

---------------
dpdk (16.07-0ubuntu3) yakkety; urgency=medium

  [ Christian Ehrhardt ]
  * merge of latest deb_dpdk packaging for dpdk 16.07 (LP: #1625009)
    - excluding ppc enablement due to being post-FF
    - mix and match of changelogs as it is not yet uploaded to Debian
  * add man pages for installed binaries
    - add backport of patches from upstream
    - call generation of man pages in d/rules
  * d/t/test-dkms retain dkms logs for debugging (LP: #1625028)
  * fix rte_kni dkms build with kernel >= 4.8 (LP: #1625021)
    - d/p/dpdk-dev-v2-kni-fix-build-with-kernel-4.8.patch replaced macro with
      its value in kni ethtool drivers.

  [ Luca Boccassi ]
  * Add optional binary kernel modules package, disabled by default (build with
    DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=kernel_modules to enable). If enabled will build kernel
    modules against the local, current kernel version (override by adding
    ksrc=<path/to/kernel/sources> to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS) into a
    dpdk-modules-<kernel version> package
  * Set HOST_/EXTRA/CPP/C/LDFLAGS in d/rules so that all built objects pick up
    all flags set by the dpkg environment, like hardening flags
  * Add rte-compile-pre-cppflags.patch to make all DPDK objects pick up the
    user specified or environment specified CPP/C/LDFLAGS.
    Fixes Lintian warning:
    - W: dpdk-dev: hardening-no-relro
         usr/share/dpdk/x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc/app/dpdk-pmdinfogen
  * Add a brief HOWTO to debian/README.source with instructions to build the
    packages, for CI systems and the like.
  * Build with RTE_DEVEL_BUILD=n to avoid building test pmds with an rpath
    hardcoded to the package build PATH. Fixes Lintian Error:
    - E: dpdk: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath usr/bin/dpdk-pdump
         /home/lboccass/git/dpdk_deb/debian/build/shared-root/lib

  [ Santiago RR ]
  * improve debian/copyright
  * remove duplicate entries from d/control
