[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/7] bus/pci: avoid call to DMA mask check

[Alejandro Lucero <alejandro.lucero@netronome.com>]

Calling rte_mem_check_dma_mask when memory has not been initialized
yet is wrong. This patch use rte_mem_set_dma_mask instead.

Once memory initialization is done, the dma mask set will be used
for checking memory mapped is within the specified mask.

Fixes: fe822eb8c565 ("bus/pci: use IOVA DMA mask check when setting IOVA mode")
