AI review that I ran indicates that this function has some memory leaks
around the tc_mapping, q_bw and qtc_map variables, which are allocated
using rte_zmalloc. However, those are not introduced by this patch, so ok
to take this as-is for now. We should look to ensure leaks are fixed in
future patches. (Also, we should ideally change from using rte_zmalloc to
regular malloc/calloc, unless there is a strong reason why the need these
nodes in hugepage memory).
