[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] malloc: simplify heap initialisation

[David Marchand]

There should be no real need for this initialised field as the whole structure
is set to 0 in rte_config_init() by primary process, and secondary processes
wait for this to happen before anything else (looking at mem_config magic).
