Replace pktmbuf pool with mempool, this allows increase in MOPS
especially in lower buffer size. Using Mempool, allows to reduce
the extra CPU cycles.

Changes made are
1. pktmbuf pool create with mempool create.
2. create src & dst pointer array from the appropaite numa.
3. use get pool and put for mempool objects.
4. remove pktmbuf_mtod for dma and cpu memcpy.

v2 changes:
 - add ACK from  Morten Brørup

v1 changes:
 - pktmbuf pool create with mempool create.
 - create src & dst pointer array from the appropaite numa.
 - use get pool and put for mempool objects.
 - remove pktmbuf_mtod for dma and cpu memcpy.

Test Results for pktmbuf vs mempool:

should consider IOVA != VA, so here should be with rte_mempool_virt2iova(),
but this commit is mainly to eliminate the address convert overload, so we
should prepare IOVA for DMA copy, and VA for memory copy.

I prefer keep pkt_mbuf, but new add two field, and create this two field when setup_memory_env(),
then direct use them in do_xxx_mem_copy。

Thanks.

yes, Ferruh helped me to understand. Please let me look into this and 
share a v3 soon.

Please help me understand if you are suggesting, in function 
`setup_memory_env` we still keep pkt_mbuf creation.

But when the arrays are created instead of populating them with mbuf, we 
directly call `pktmbuf_mtod` and store the

starting address. Thus in cpu-copy or dma-copy we do not spent time in 
compute. Is this what you mean?


My reasoning for not using pktmbuf is as follows

1. pkt_mbuf has rte_mbuf metadata + private + headroom + tailroom

2. so when create payload for 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K, 32K, 1GB we are 
accounting for extra headroom. which is not efficent

3. dma-perf is targeted for performance and not network function.

4. there is an existing example which makes use pktmbuf and dma calls.


hence I would like to use mempool which also helps per numa with flags.

What I understand the low performance, mainly due to the CPU can't take DMA device performance,
so the CPU is a bottleneck, when we reduce the tasks of the CPU (just like this commit did), then
the performance is improved.

This commit can test the maximum performance when the CPU and DMA cowork together, so I think we can
add this commit.

pktmbuf is a popular programming entity, and almost all application (including examples) in the DPDK
community are based on pktmbuf.

I think that keeping the use of pktbuf provides a flexibility, someone who want do more operates with
pktmbuf (maybe emulate the real logic) could be easily modified and testing.

Thanks

thank you Chengwen for the comments, I have also noticed some merges on 
`benchmark.c`. Let me take that as new baseline and modify as v3 as new 
option for mempool.
