[PATCH 3/3] eal/linux: Check hugepage access permissions

[Jake Freeland <jfree@FreeBSD.org>]

Currently, hugepage mountpoints will be used irrespective of permissions,
leading to potential EACCES errors during memory allocation. Fix this by
not using a mountpoint if we do not have read/write permissions on it.
