[PATCH] mbuf: fix mbuf operations history recording

[Konstantin Ananyev]

> This addresses two bugs in mbuf operations history recording.
> 
> 1. With mbuf operations history recording enabled, when allocating mbufs
> from a mempool failed, the array of fetched mbuf pointers was not set, but
> it was dereferenced for mbuf operations history recording anyway, which
> would trigger a segmentation fault or cause undefined behavior.
> 
> This was fixed by changing how the return value from the mempool
> allocation is checked, so the function returns early on failure, and only
> proceeds on success.
> 
> 2. When allocating a bulk of mbufs using rte_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk(), two
> mbuf library allocation operations were recorded on the mbuf, because the
> function calls rte_mbuf_raw_alloc_bulk() for allocation, and both
> functions record a mbuf library allocation operation.
> 
> This was fixed by not recording a mbuf library allocation operation in
> rte_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk().
