> The API ``rte_security_session_create`` takes only single mempool
> for session and session private data. So the application need to create
> mempool for twice the number of sessions needed and will also lead to
> wastage of memory as session private data need more memory compared to session.
> Hence the API will be modified to take two mempool pointers - one for session
> and one for private data. This is very similar to crypto based session
> create APIs.
