[PATCH v4-S1 5/5] mempool/dpaa2: support ops index from primary in secondary

From: Jun Yang <jun.yang at nxp.com>

Secondary processes call rte_dpaa2_mpool_get_ops_idx() but the ops
index is registered only in the primary process. The secondary had no
way to learn the index, causing it to use the initial sentinel value
RTE_MEMPOOL_MAX_OPS_IDX and return an error.

Register an IPC action handler in the primary during pool creation.
Secondary processes send DPAA2_POOL_OPS_IDX_REQ over the
dpaa2_pool_mp_sync channel and receive the ops index back.

Also handle the case where rte_mp_action_register returns ENOTSUP
(e.g. no secondary process support enabled at build time) by
treating it as non-fatal, and improve the error message in
rte_hw_mbuf_free_pool to include the pool name.
