[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: fix memory leak in memzone when no room in config

[Anatoly Burakov]

We check if there's space in config after we allocated the memzone,
but if there isn't, we never free it back. This patch adds memzone
free if there's no room in memzone config.

Fixes: ff909fe21f0a ("mem: introduce memzone freeing")
