mbuf: introduce pktmbuf pool with pinned external buffers

Today's pktmbuf pool contains only mbufs with no external buffers. This means data buffer for the mbuf should be placed right after the mbuf structure (+ the private data when enabled). On some cases, the application would want to have the buffers allocated from a different device in the platform. This is in order to do zero copy for the packet directly to the device memory. Examples for such devices can be GPU or storage device. For such cases the native pktmbuf pool does not fit since each mbuf would need to point to external buffer. To support above, the pktmbuf pool will be populated with mbuf pointing to the device buffers using the mbuf external buffer feature. The PMD will populate its receive queues with those buffer, so that every packet received will be scattered directly to the device memory. on the other direction, embedding the buffer pointer to the transmit queues of the NIC, will make the DMA to fetch device memory using peer to peer communication. Such mbuf with external buffer should be handled with care when mbuf is freed. Mainly The external buffer should not be detached, so that it can be reused for the next packet receive. This patch introduce a new flag on the rte_pktmbuf_pool_private structure to specify this mempool is for mbuf with pinned external buffer. Upon detach this flag is validated and buffer is not detached. A new mempool create wrapper is also introduced to help application to create and populate such mempool.
