[PATCH 19.11] malloc: fix allocation with unknown socket ID

[Ilyes Ben Hamouda <ilyes.ben_hamouda@6wind.com>]

[ upstream commit 770d41bf33090462319c765c86a4c1979dc2a148 ]

When using rte_malloc() from a thread which is not bound to a numa
socket (the typical case is a control thread, but it can also happen
on a dataplane thread if its cpu affinity is on cores attached to
several sockets), the used heap is the one from numa socket 0, which
may not have available memory.

Fix this by selecting the first socket which has available memory.

Note: malloc_get_numa_socket() is only used from one .c file, so move
it there, and remove the inline keyword.

Fixes: b94580d6887e ("malloc: avoid unknown socket id")
