Since we are in a mempool driver, we may not want to use PMD_*_LOG()
functions.

Also, I don't see where these macros are defined for this file, but maybe
I miss something that is right under my nose ;)

Anyway, I suggest to use your own macros for dpaa mempool instead,
and if possible:
  - avoid compilation options as much as possible
  - RTE_LOG() for logs that cannot occur in dataplane (they can be enabled
    dynamically)
  - RTE_LOG_DP() for dataplane logs: these are stripped at compilation
    time, unless your log level <= RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL
