[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] testpmd: avoid only working in XEN when LIBRTE_PMD_XENVIRT is configured

With LIBRTE_PMD_XENVIRT enabled testpmd is built in a way to ONLY work
in XEN environments.
It will surface as:
PMD: gntalloc: ioctl error
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
Cause: Creation of mbuf pool for socket 0 failed
With LIBRTE_PMD_XENVIRT enabled this now tries the xen style grant
table allocation, but falls back gracefully for the normal allocation.
The only thing left in the log will be the
PMD: gntalloc: ioctl error
Updates in v2
- adding missing Signed-off-by and set Pablo on --to with the patch directly
