[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 03/14] eal: do not panic on hugepage info init

[Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com>]

When attempting to scan hugepages, signal to the eal that an error has
occurred, rather than performing a panic.

If we fail to acquire hugepage information, simply signal an error to
the application.  This clears the run_once counter, allowing the user or
application to take a corrective action and retry.
