Since the data structures such as rings are shared in their entirety,
those TAILQ pointers are shared as well. Meaning that, after a
successful rte_ring creation, the tailq_next pointer of the last
ring in the TAILQ will be updated with a pointer to a ring which may
not be present in the address space of another process (i.e. a ring
that may be host-local or guest-local, and not shared over IVSHMEM).
Any successive ring create/lookup on the other side of IVSHMEM will
result in trying to dereference an invalid pointer.
This patchset fixes this problem by creating a default tailq entry
that may be used by any data structure that chooses to use TAILQs.
This default TAILQ entry will consist of a tailq_next/tailq_prev
pointers, and an opaque pointer to arbitrary data. All TAILQ
pointers from data structures themselves will be removed and
replaced by those generic TAILQ entries, thus fixing the problem
of potentially exposing local address space to shared structures.

The function rte_snprintf serves no useful purpose. It is the
same as snprintf() for all valid inputs. Deprecate it and
replace all uses in current code.
Leave the tests for the deprecated function in place.

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].

The DPDK dump functions are useful for remote debugging of an
applications. But when application runs as a daemon, stdout
is typically routed to /dev/null.
Instead change all these functions to take a stdio FILE * handle
instead. An application can then use open_memstream() to capture
the output.

Allow to initialize a ring in an already allocated memory. The rte_ring_create()
function that allocates a ring in a rte_memzone is still available and now uses
the new rte_ring_init() function in order to factorize the code.

Add a function that returns the amount of memory occupied by a rte_ring
structure and its object table. This commit prepares the next one that
will allow to allocate a ring dynamically.

The rte_ring functions used a compiler barrier to stop the compiler
reordering certain expressions. This is generally useful so is moved
to the common header file with the other barriers.
