This information is stripped from the description for parameter cache_size of function rte_mempool_create.
Now rte_mempool_create function will check cache_size value less than mempool size /1.5. 

In test_sched.c, mempool size and cache size are all 32 and not match mempool cache size checking rule.
This will cause sched_autotest not work.

Macro PKT_BURST_SZ not used in this file, MEMPOOL_CACHE_SZ should be set to 0.
