[PATCH 2/2] eal/freebsd: implement virtual to IOVA translation fn

The function rte_mem_virt2iova() function was always returning BAD_IOVA
on FreeBSD as it was not implemented. Unfortunately, this function was
used by some drivers - expecting it to work as they used addresses from
rte_malloc calls. Implement this call on FreeBSD to fix things and
enable more drivers on BSD. To verify the function works as expected
add a basic unit test to the memory_autotest for it.
At the same time, we can trivially use this to implement the
rte_mem_virt2phy function for the case of using contigmem where IOVAs
are physical addresses.

NOTE: This is one of those patches that could be either a bugfix or a
feature. For now, I'm treating it as adding new feature support, though
in doing so it enables previously broken drivers.
