Under legacy mode, if the number of continuous memsegs greater
than RTE_MAX_MEMSEG_PER_LIST, eal init will failed even though
another memseg list is empty, because only one memseg list used
to check in remap_needed_hugepages.
For example:
hugepage configure:
20480
13370
7110
startup log:
EAL: Detected memory type: socket_id:0 hugepage_sz:2097152
EAL: Detected memory type: socket_id:1 hugepage_sz:2097152
EAL: Creating 4 segment lists: n_segs:8192 socket_id:0 hugepage_sz:2097152
EAL: Creating 4 segment lists: n_segs:8192 socket_id:1 hugepage_sz:2097152
EAL: Requesting 13370 pages of size 2MB from socket 0
EAL: Requesting 7110 pages of size 2MB from socket 1
EAL: Attempting to map 14220M on socket 1
EAL: Allocated 14220M on socket 1
EAL: Attempting to map 26740M on socket 0
EAL: Could not find space for memseg. Please increase 32768 and/or 65536 in
configuration.
EAL: Couldn't remap hugepage files into memseg lists
EAL: FATAL: Cannot init memory
EAL: Cannot init memory
