This is reported by our internal covscan:
1. dpdk-20.11/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c:508: alloc_fn:
Storage is returned from allocation function "dlopen".
6. dpdk-20.11/lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c:508:
leaked_storage: Failing to save or free storage allocated by
"dlopen("librte_eal.so.21.0", 5)" leaks it.
# 506| * shared library is not already loaded i.e. it's

# RTLD_NOLOAD) != NULL &&
# 509| *default_solib_dir != '\0' &&
# 510| stat(default_solib_dir, &sb) == 0 &&
This leak is not an issue per se, but on the other hand, this is easy
to fix and I prefer not having to waive this warning later.
