  This is a helper function in case components would like to do more work
than just logging a message based on log level, like for example
collecting some stats if the log type is DEBUG etc..

A few existing relevant usage converted to this new API.

* Convert API return type to 'bool'. Removed custom definitions from

Here, this is a change in behavior, but it aligns this driver to the
rest of dpdk, and we got a ack from Hemant.

The description is a bit odd to me.
A "level" is not printed.
A "logtype" does not print.

Would it make sense to actually change rte_log_get_level() to always
take the global level into account?
Then we would not introduce a new API, but this means deferring this
patch to 20.11.


If we go with this helper, we can replace the check we have in rte_vlog:

Idem, behavior change, but looks sane.

Agree, what about following, is it more clear:

"
For a given `logtype`, check if log with `loglevel` will be printed or not.

Not sure, it can make 'rte_log_get_level()' confusing

Apart from global level check, I think it is good to have this helper instead of
applications getting log level and comparing themselves, this API simplifies it.

Right, why not, I can update in next version.
