The documentation for rte_realloc claims that the resized area
will always reside on the same NUMA node. This is not actually
the case - while *resized* area will be on the same NUMA node,
if resizing the area is not possible, then the memory will be
reallocated using rte_malloc(), which can allocate memory on
another NUMA node, depending on which lcore rte_realloc() was
called from and which NUMA nodes have memory available.
Fix the API doc to match the actual code of rte_realloc().

Currently, rte_realloc will not respect original allocation's
NUMA node when memory cannot be resized, and there is no
NUMA-aware equivalent of rte_realloc. This patch adds such a function.
The new API will ensure that reallocated memory stays on
requested NUMA node, as well as allow moving allocated memory
to a different NUMA node.

Currently, malloc statistics and external heap creation code
use memory hotplug lock as a way to synchronize accesses to
heaps (as in, locking the hotplug lock to prevent list of heaps
from changing under our feet). At the same time, malloc
statistics code will also lock the heap because it needs to
access heap data and does not want any other thread to allocate
anything from that heap.
In such scheme, it is possible to enter a deadlock with the
following sequence of events:
thread 1 thread 2
rte_malloc()
rte_malloc_dump_stats()
take heap lock
take hotplug lock
failed to allocate,
attempt to take
hotplug lock
attempt to take heap lock
Neither thread will be able to continue, as both of them are
waiting for the other one to drop the lock. Adding an
additional lock will require an ABI change, so instead of
that, make malloc statistics calls thread-unsafe with
respect to creating/destroying heaps.

The external heaps API already implicitly expects start address
of the external memory area to be page-aligned, but it is not
enforced or documented. Fix this by implementing additional
parameter checks at memory add call, and document the page
alignment requirement explicitly.

In order to use external memory in multiple processes, we need to
attach to primary process's memseg lists, so add a new API to do
that. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that memory
is accessible and that it has been previously added to the malloc
heap by another process.

Add an API to remove memory from specified heaps. This will first
check if all elements within the region are free, and that the
region is the original region that was added to the heap (by
comparing its length to length of memory addressed by the
underlying memseg list).

Add an API to add externally allocated memory to malloc heap. The
memory will be stored in memseg lists like regular DPDK memory.
Multiple segments are allowed within a heap. If IOVA table is
not provided, IOVA addresses are filled in with RTE_BAD_IOVA.

Add API to allow creating new malloc heaps. They will be created
with socket ID's going above RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES, to avoid clashing
with internal heaps.
This breaks the ABI, so document the change.

An API is needed to check whether a particular socket ID belongs
to an internal or external heap. Prime user of this would be
mempool allocator, because normal assumptions of IOVA
contiguousness in IOVA as VA mode do not hold in case of
externally allocated memory.

When populating a mempool with a virtual memory area, the mempool
library expects to be able to get the physical address of each page.
When started with --no-huge, the physical addresses may not be available
because the pages are not locked in memory. It sometimes returns
RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR, which makes the mempool_populate() function to fail.
This was working before the commit cdc242f260 ("eal/linux: support
running as unprivileged user"), because rte_mem_virt2phy() was returning
0 instead of RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR, which was seen as a valid physical
address.
Since --no-huge is a debug function that breaks the support of physical
drivers, always set physical addresses to RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR in memzones
or in rte_mem_virt2phy(), and ensure that mempool won't complain in that
case.

Create a dummy malloc library to avoid breaking applications that have

This is the first step towards using malloc to allocate memory directly
from memsegs. Thus, memzones would allocate memory through malloc,
