Only one header file (rte_kni_common.h) was in the sub-directory
include/exec-env/
This file was installed in a sub-directory of the same name
in the makefile-based build.
Source and install directories are moved as below:
lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/include/exec-env/
-> lib/librte_eal/linux/eal/include/
build/include/exec-env/
-> build/include/
The consequence is to have a file hierarchy a bit more flat.

Add module parameter 'carrier='on|off' to set the default carrier state
for linux network interfaces created by the KNI module. The default
carrier state is 'off'.
For KNI interfaces which need to reflect the carrier state of
a physical Ethernet port controlled by the DPDK application, the
default carrier state should be left set to 'off'. The application
can set the carrier state of the KNI interface to reflect the state
of the physical Ethernet port using rte_kni_update_link().
For KNI interfaces which are purely virtual, the default carrier
state can be set to 'on'. This enables the KNI interface to be
used without having to explicity set the carrier state to 'on'
using rte_kni_update_link().

rx_q fifo can only be released by kernel thread. There may be
mbuf leaks in rx_q because kernel threads are randomly stopped.
When the kni is released and netdev is unregisterd, convert the
physical address mbufs in rx_q to the virtual address in free_q.
By the way, alloc_q can be processed together to speed up the
release rate in userspace.
In my test, it is improved from 300-500ms with a mempool that has
131072 mbufs to 10ms(regardless of the specifications).
