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 cdc242f260e7 ("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.
