[Fiona] Quick recap: To avoid breaking ABI, we must return a set of capabilities with/without ChaChaPoly
depending on the appl version. To resolve this, within the rte_cryptodev layer, we propose to 
inspect the capabilities returned by PMD and strip ChaCha if it exists.
In that case memory for the new trimmed capabilities array has to be malloced by the lib.
All good, except how to handle a malloc fail is yet another API breakage as rte_cryptodev_get_info() returns void.
We propose to return an empty capability list, i.e. a list with only the END element (which can be done without malloc) 
in this corner case of a corner case.
Anyone see any issue with this?

[Fiona] I would agree with Tomas to ignore this small ABI break, as it is already an error case
if a appl is passing in a bad value for the algorithm. Even if it does return SUCCESS, instead of ENOTSUP,
 what behaviour could the application be expecting with a session using LIST_END as an algo?
