  Running dpdk-helloworld on Linux with lib numa present,
but no kernel support for NUMA (CONFIG_NUMA=n) causes
ret_service_init() to fail with EAL: error allocating
rte services array.

alloc_seg() calls get_mempolicy to verify that the allocation
has happened on the correct socket, but receives ENOSYS from
the kernel and fails the allocation.

The allocated socket should only be verified if check_numa() is true.

Fixes: 2a96c88be83e ("mem: ease init in a docker container")
