[PATCH v3] mempool cache: add zero-copy get and put functions

["Morten Brørup" <mb@smartsharesystems.com>]

Zero-copy access to mempool caches is beneficial for PMD performance, and
must be provided by the mempool library to fix [Bug 1052] without a
performance regression.

[Bug 1052]: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1052

v3:
* Bugfix: Respect the cache size; compare to the flush threshold instead
  of RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE.
* Added 'rewind' function for incomplete 'put' operations. (Konstantin)
* Replace RTE_ASSERTs with runtime checks of the request size.
  Instead of failing, return NULL if the request is too big. (Konstantin)
* Modified comparison to prevent overflow if n is really huge and len is
  non-zero.
* Updated the comments in the code.
v2:
* Fix checkpatch warnings.
* Fix missing registration of trace points.
* The functions are inline, so they don't go into the map file.
v1 changes from the RFC:
* Removed run-time parameter checks. (Honnappa)
  This is a hot fast path function; requiring correct application
  behaviour, i.e. function parameters must be valid.
* Added RTE_ASSERT for parameters instead.
  Code for this is only generated if built with RTE_ENABLE_ASSERT.
* Removed fallback when 'cache' parameter is not set. (Honnappa)
* Chose the simple get function; i.e. do not move the existing objects in
  the cache to the top of the new stack, just leave them at the bottom.
* Renamed the functions. Other suggestions are welcome, of course. ;-)
* Updated the function descriptions.
* Added the functions to trace_fp and version.map.
