mempool/octeontx2: use noinline to preserve ABI

  From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

Since direct register access is used in npa_lf_aura_op_alloc_bulk()
use __rte_noinline to preserve ABI.

Huh? this is an internal function, and the driver is new to DPDK.
We don't maintain ABI with external drivers or code bases.
And ABI with code before it was upstream doesn't count either.

I was actually referring to arm64 ABI[1]
I think commit message in v2 describes it better http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/56703/
