This is not actually the case - while *resized* area will be on the same NUMA node, if resizing the area is not possible, then the memory will be reallocated using rte_malloc(), which can allocate memory on another NUMA node, depending on which lcore rte_realloc() was called from and which NUMA nodes have memory available. Fix the API doc to match the actual code of rte_realloc().
