Octeontx mempool pmd need mailbox for pool setup.
That mailbox was defined at drivers/event/octeontx.
So mempool has dependency on event/octeontx driver and
commit:8700239f7767 has added make rule which makes sure event/*
get build before mempool, but this rule introduces
cyclic dependency and may create problem to future
feature addition in drivers/Makefile.
Same problem noticed and reported in below thread:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-October/079187.html
The patch solves problem by moving mbox definition from
drivers/event/octeontx to drivers/mempool/octeontx.
Moving mbox files involves below changes:
* Renamed ssovf_mbox.[ch] --> octeontx_mbox.[ch]
* Renamed ssovf_probe.c --> octeontx_ssovf.c
* Introduced pool logger file.
* Moved API from rte_pmd_octeontx_ssovf_version.map to
rte_mempool_octeontx_version.map.
* Respective Makefile changes done in
drivers/event/octeontx/Makefile and drivers/mempool/octeontx/Makefile.
Fixes: 8700239f7767 ("mempool/octeontx: add build and log infrastructure")

ssovf VF device has mailbox mechanism to communicate
with PF device. This patch adds support for a mbox API to
send the mailbox request to PF device.
The ssovf VF device will be used as the communication channel
to talk to PF devices of all the network accelerated
co-processors in Octeontx. Exposing as shared function to
use it from pool, crypto, network devices.

ssovf and ssowvf PCIe VF devices are shared
between eventdev PMD and ethdev PMD. This patch
expose a set of interface API to get info
about probed ssovf and ssowvf VF resources to use
with eventdev and ethdev vdev devices latter.
