Does this code leak mem_name when asprintf fails? The asprintf function
allocates memory that needs to be freed, but if it fails and returns -1,
mem_name becomes undefined and might not be NULL.

Would it be more robust to check the return value and set mem_name to
NULL on failure rather than using the __rte_unused annotation?

Can this code safely call free on mem_name if asprintf failed? When
asprintf returns -1, the state of mem_name is undefined according to
POSIX - it might not be safe to pass to free().

Should this function return an error when the RCU defer queue name gets
truncated? Operating with a truncated name might cause collisions or
other unexpected behavior.

Is it correct to assume RTE_RING_NAMESIZE is always available when this
header is included? This creates a dependency that might not be obvious
to users of the LPM library.
