[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mempool/octeontx2: fix build with ICC

The Intel compiler is pickier about casts and generates:
otx2_mempool_ops.c(344): error #191: type qualifier is meaningless on cast type
int64_t * const addr = (int64_t * const)
^
This is because of the nature of const.
In this example, the expression is being cast into a pointer
that can not be modified. This is meanlingless because the
expression is already a lvalue.
