Hi Yongseok,
mp_rep.msgs is potentially allocated regardless of whether you're in
primary or secondary, and whether the call to mp_request_sync succeeded
or failed. Hence, need to free in all cases.
See this patch: http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/52868/
and this bug: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228
