[PATCH 2/2] lib/graph: rte_malloc for cache-aligned structs

This was flagged by undefined behaviour sanitizer: struct
rte_graph_cluster_stats is declared as `__rte_cache_aligned` but was
allocated using stdlib realloc which caused misaligned allocation. More
than one test needs to be executed in series in order to reproduce the
problem using graph_autotest, e.g:
app/dpdk-test --no-huge --no-pci -m128 graph_autotest graph_autotest
First sanitizer message (similar ones follow):
lib/graph/graph_stats.c:209:13: runtime error: member access within
misaligned address 0x606000008ea0 for type 'struct
rte_graph_cluster_stats', which requires 64 byte alignment
To fix the issue replace realloc calls with rte_malloc and rte_realloc
specifying correct alignment, use rte_free to free the result.
