  To: dev

Currently, in order to perform a memzone lookup and create/free
the memzone, the user has to call two API's, creating a race
condition. This is particularly destructive for memzone_free call
because the reference provided to memzone_free at the time of call
may be stale or refer to a different memzone altogether.

Fix this race condition by adding an API to perform lookup and
create/free memzone in one go.
