[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] Add rte_mempool_free

There is no inverse of rte_mempool_create, so this patch adds one.
The typical usage of rte_mempool_create is to create a pool at
initialization time and only to free it upon program exit, so an
rte_mempool_free function at first seems to be of little value.
However, it is very useful as a sanity check for a clean shutdown
when used in conjunction with tools like AddressSanitizer. Further,
the call itself verifies that all elements have been returned to
the pool or it fails.
