For me, it looks very reasonable approach as it caters the basic use
case without any change in the application nor the additional(--mbuf-pool-ops-name)
EAL command line scheme to select different mempool ops.
Though, this option will not enough cater all the use case. I think, we can have
three options and the following order of precedence to select the mempool ops

1) This patch(update active mempool based on the device probe())
2) Selection of mempool ops though --mbuf-pool-ops-name= EAL commandline argument.
Which can overridden the scheme(1)
3) More sophisticated mempool section based on
a) The ethdev PMD capability exposed through existing rte_eth_dev_pool_ops_supported()
b) Add mempool ops option in rte_pktmbuf_pool_create()
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-December/083985.html
c) Use (a) and (b) to select the update the mempool ops with
some "weight" based algorithm like
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/32245/

Global variable will create issue in multi process case.

I think, if we could update "internal_config.mbuf_pool_ops_name" value then
we don't need any extra global variable.
