Previous patch added definition of number of retries for UAR allocation.
This value is adequate for x86 systems with 4K pages.
On power9 system with 64K pages the required value is 32.
This patch updates the defined value from 2 to 32.

What about bigger pages?

No need of stable@dpdk.org because it was introduced in this release.

It is missing a comment to explain the calculation with 64K page.

It seems getting reasons for this magic workaround is not trivial.

Applied, thanks
