[PATCH v6 21/27] net/iavf: avoid rte malloc in IPsec operations

[Anatoly Burakov]

Currently, when performing IPsec security association operations and
retrieving device capabilities, we are using rte_malloc followed by
immediate rte_free. This memory does not need to be stored in hugepage
memory and the allocation size can be pretty small, so replace with stack
allocation.
