On Linux, all huge pages are zeroed by the kernel before
first access by the DPDK application. But on FreeBSD,
the contigmem driver would only zero the contiguous
memory regions during initial driver load.
DPDK commit b78c91751 eliminated the explicit memset()
operation for rte_zmalloc(), which was OK on Linux
because the kernel zeroes the pages during app start,
but this broke FreeBSD when restarting app.
So this patch explicitly zeroes the pages before they are mmap'd,
to ensure equivalent behavior to Linux.
Fixes: b78c9175118f ("mem: do not zero out memory on zmalloc")

The contigmem module was using an "int" type for specifying the
size of blocks of memory to be reserved. A 2GB block was therefore
overflowing the signed 32-bit value, making 1GB the largest block
size that could be reserved as a single unit.
The fix is to change the type used for the buffer/block size to
an "int64_t" value.

The maximum mount contiguous memory regions for FreeBSD is limited by
RTE_CONTIGMEM_MAX_NUM_BUFS, a pointer to each region is stored in
static void * contigmem_buffers[RTE_CONTIGMEM_MAX_NUM_BUFS]
A user can specify a greater amount via hw.contigmem.num_buffers,
while the allocation logic will prevent this allocation from occuring the logic
in contigmem_unload() will attempt to free hw.contigmem.num_buffers and an
overrun occurs.
This patch limits the freeing to a maximum of RTE_CONTIGMEM_MAX_NUM_BUFS.

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].
