I fail to see how pool_data impacts rte_mempool_lookup.
Something is fishy about this commitlog.

Moving tailq manipulation to rte_mempool_create only, is probably incorrect.
An application is allowed to call rte_mempool_create_empty() and
rte_mempool_populate().

I did not look in depth, but It is likely the reason why testpmd (as
run with devtools/test-null.sh) won't pass anymore.
The CI reported this issue in various envs.

We can't take this patch.
