[ovs-dev] [PATCH v7 2/6] netdev-dpdk: Fix mempool names to reflect socket id.

Create mempool names by considering also the NUMA socket number.
So a name reflects what socket the mempool is allocated on.
This change is needed for the NUMA-awareness feature.

Mempool names now contains the requested socket id and become like:
"ovs_4adb057e_1_2030_20512".

Tested with DPDK 17.05.2 (from dpdk-stable branch).
NUMA-awareness feature enabled (DPDK/config/common_base).

Created 1 single dpdkvhostuser port type.
OvS pmd-cpu-mask=FF00003     # enable cores on both numa nodes
QEMU core mask = 0xFC000     # cores for qemu on numa node 1 only

 Before launching the VM:
 ------------------------
ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-rxq-show
shows core #1 is serving the vhu port.

pmd thread numa_id 0 core_id 1:
        isolated : false
        port: dpdkvhostuser0    queue-id: 0

 After launching the VM:
 -----------------------
the vhu port is now managed by core #27
pmd thread numa_id 1 core_id 27:
        isolated : false
        port: dpdkvhostuser0    queue-id: 0

and the log shows a new mempool is allocated on NUMA node 1, while
the previous one is deleted:
