Coverity reports return values of calls to rte_bitmap_free() are not used.
As of commit 07604f2644 ("maintainers: update for next-net tree"):
```
$ awk 'NR>281 && NR<300 {print NR ":" $0}' lib/eal/include/rte_bitmap.h
282:/**
283: * Bitmap free
284: *
285: * @param bmp
286: * Handle to bitmap instance
287: * @return
288: * 0 upon success, error code otherwise
289: */
290:static inline int
291:rte_bitmap_free(struct rte_bitmap *bmp)
292:{
293: /* Check input arguments */
294: if (bmp == NULL) {
295: return -1;
296: }
297:
298: return 0;
299:}
```
rte_bitmap_free() checks the pointer to its input rte_bitmap is not null,
and does nothing else.
The functions wherein rte_bitmap_free() is called do not use its return value.
```
$ git grep -Pn 'rte_bitmap_free\('

```
The clearing of these Coverity warnings have been discussed more than once this
year, the question of its existence has also been asked.
Subsequent commits will remove rte_bitmap_free where it was used.
