[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] usertools: check 0-division with hugepage size

[Thomas Monjalon]

The default page size can be None, and the page size from user request
can be 0 kB if lower than 1024. In these cases, a division will fail.
In order to avoid a Python exception, the page size is checked
and an error message "Invalid page size" is printed.

A similar error message is printed in set_hugepages()
if the size is not supported, except at this stage the message can be
completed with "Valid page sizes".
Unfortunately the first check is too early to print such information.

A third error message can be printed in a different place (get_memsize)
in case of a format issue, e.g. a negative size.
The function get_memsize() is also used for total requested size,
so the error message "not a valid page size" was potentially wrong.
This message is replaced with the more general "is not a valid size".
