In test application, the default size of allocated mempool is calculated
as following:
(RTE_MAX_LCORE * (RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE + max_kept_objects)) - 1
The objective is to ensure that all cores can fill their cache and keep
'max_kept_objects' at the same time. As RTE_MAX_LCORE is 128 and
RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE is 512 in the default configuration, it can
produce very large mempools (170 MB).
We can replace the number of core by a dynamic value, which drastically
reduces the amount of memory needed for this test (5 MB with 4 cores).
