[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/2] malloc: fix malloc and free linear complexity

[Robert Sanford <rsanford2@gmail.com>]

Fix typos and false assumptions in malloc unit tests.

Without enhancements to lib rte_malloc, malloc autotest fails every
second (2nd) run. With enhancements, malloc autotest fails in
function test_multi_alloc_statistics, because we compare the wrong
sets of statistics.
