The kni alloc queue is filled with physical addresses of mbufs
for kernel consumption. Any unused mbufs in the alloc queue are
freed during shutdown sequence in rte_kni_release.

In the existing implementation, for freeing one entry of alloc
queue all the objects of the mempool are traversed to find
a match. This process is repeated for all the objects of the
alloc queue which consumes lot of cpu cycles.

Instead of using mempool object iteration method,use
``rte_mem_iova2virt()`` api to get the virtual address
for the physical addresses of alloc_q objects.
This speeds up the freeing process.
