Suggested rewording of commit message:

Currently, EAL init in secondary processes will attach all fbarrays in 
the memconfig to have access to primary process' page tables. However, 
fbarrays corresponding to external memory segments should not be 
attached at initialization, because this will happen as part of 
`rte_extmem_attach` or `rte_malloc_heap_memory_attach` calls.

Acked-by: Anatoly Burakov <anatoly.burakov@intel.com>

Both external memory API's document this:

rte_malloc: 
http://doc.dpdk.org/api/rte__malloc_8h.html#af6360dea35bdf162feeb2b62cf149fd3

rte_extmem:
