[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] ethdev: verify reserved HW ring

[Ferruh Yigit]

Function 'rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve()' returns an existing memzone based
on name match, but other requested attributes are discarded.
This may cause driver using a memzone with wrong size or alignment.

Verify size, alignment and socket_id for matched memzone, and do not use
memzone if any one of the attributes are not justified.

It is possible to free the existing memzone and allocate again with the
requested attributes but it is better caller do the explicit free.

v2:
* Updated commit log related decision on not doing implicit free
* Updated alignment check to make it more explicit
