[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] app/pdump: enforcing pdump to use sw mempool

[Harman Kalra]

A secondary process cannot access HW mempool already
initiazed by primary, and neither it can setup its own
HW mempool due to its own restrictions.

Since dpdk-pdump creates mempool for managing its local
mbufs, SW mempool is capable enough to solve this purpose.
