The documentation off rte_malloc_socket() says:

@param socket
  NUMA socket to allocate memory on. If SOCKET_ID_ANY is used, this
  function will behave the same as rte_malloc().

void *
rte_malloc_socket(const char *type, size_t size, unsigned align, int
socket);


Your patch changes the behavior of rte_malloc() without explaining
why, and the documentation becomes wrong.

Can you explain why you need this change?

Regards,
Olivier
