[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 3/3] eal: reverse powerpc changes done for hugepage overcommit

[Gowrishankar]

From: Gowrishankar Muthukrishnan <gowrishankar.m at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Reverse the previous changes done for multiprocess support, as it is
addressed without relying in nr_overcommit_hugepages in powerpc.

Fixes: 284ae3e9ff ("eal/ppc: fix mmap for memory initialization")

     For 1G pages, it is not possible to reserve the hugepage memory after the system has booted.
 
-    On IBM POWER system, the nr_overcommit_hugepages should be set to the same value as nr_hugepages.
-    For example, if the required page number is 128, the following commands are used::
-
-        echo 128 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB/nr_hugepages
-        echo 128 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-16384kB/nr_overcommit_hugepages
