[PATCH v3] kni: optimize alloc queue release

[Naga Harish K S V]

the kni alloc queue is filled with physical addresses of mbufs
for kernel consumption. Any unused mbufs in the alloc queue are
freed during shutdown sequence in rte_kni_release.

In the current existing implementation, for freeing one entry of
alloc queue all the objects of the mempool are traversed. This
process is repeated for all the objects of the alloc queue which
consumes lot of cpu cycles.

Instead of using mempool object iteration method,use
``rte_mem_iova2virt()`` api to get the virtual address
for the physical addresses of alloc_q objects.
This speeds up the freeing process.
