[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 16/19] mempool: add support to non-EAL thread

For non-EAL thread, bypass per lcore cache, directly use ring pool.
It allows using rte_mempool in either EAL thread or any user pthread.
As in non-EAL thread, it directly rely on rte_ring and it's none preemptive.
It doesn't suggest to run multi-pthread/cpu which compete the rte_mempool.
It will get bad performance and has critical risk if scheduling policy is RT.
Haven't found significant performance decrease by mempool_perf_test.

 v6 changes:
   rollback v5 changes

 v5 changes:
   check __lcore_id with LCORE_ID_ANY instead of RTE_MAX_LCORE
