malloc_elem_free() is clearing(setting to 0) the trailer cookie when
RTE_MALLOC_DEBUG is enabled. In case of joining free neighbor element,
part of joined memory is not getting cleared due to missing the length
of trailer cookie in the middle.
This patch fixes calculation of free memory length to be cleared in
malloc_elem_free() by including trailer cookie.

Currently when a malloc_elem is split after resizing, any padding
present in the elem is ignored. This causes the resized elem to be too
small when padding is present, and user data can overwrite the beginning
of the following malloc_elem.
Solve this by including the size of the padding when computing where to
split the malloc_elem.

Since commit fafcc11985a2, memzones are not guaranteed to be zeroed out.
This could potentially cause issues as applications might have been
relying on the allocated memory being zeroed out.
On init all allocated memory is zeroed by the kernel, so by zeroing out
memory on free, all available dpdk memory is always zeroed.

fix the error reported by checkpatch:
"ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required"
remove parentheses in return like:
"return (logical expressions)"
remove parentheses in return a function like:
"return (rte_mempool_lookup(...))"

In the current memory hierarchy, memsegs are groups of physically
contiguous hugepages, memzones are slices of memsegs and malloc further
slices memzones into smaller memory chunks.
This patch modifies malloc so it partitions memsegs instead of memzones.
Thus memzones would call malloc internally for memory allocation while
maintaining its ABI.
During initialization malloc sets all available memory as part of the heaps.
CONFIG_RTE_MALLOC_MEMZONE_SIZE was used to specify the default memory
block size to expand the heap. The option is not used/relevant anymore,
so we remove it.
Remove free_memseg field from internal mem config structure as it is
not used anymore.
Also remove code in ivshmem that was setting up free_memseg on init.
It would be possible to free memzones and therefore any other structure
based on memzones, ie. mempools

Move malloc inside eal and create a new section in MAINTAINERS file for
Memory Allocation in EAL.
Create a dummy malloc library to avoid breaking applications that have
librte_malloc in their DT_NEEDED entries.
This is the first step towards using malloc to allocate memory directly
from memsegs. Thus, memzones would allocate memory through malloc,
allowing to free memzones.
