[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 6/8] mem: add support for hugepage-unlink mode

[Anatoly Burakov <anatoly.burakov@intel.com>]

Unlink hugepages after creating them, to honor the hugepage-unlink mode.
We cannot resize non-existing files, so make single file segments
explicitly unsupported.

Notes:

    - Move check for hugepage unlink into this patch, to be
      consistent with commit message
    
    RFC->v1:
    - Use --huge-unlink only
