This is something we encountered while working in an OpenShift
environment with SELinux enabled.
In this environment, a DPDK application could create/write to hugepage
files but removing them was refused.
This resulted in dirty files being reused when starting a new DPDK
application and triggered random crashes / erratic behavior.

Getting a SELinux setup can be a challenge, and even more if you add
containers to the picture :-).
So here is a reproducer for the interested testers:

  # cat >wrap.c <<EOF
  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include <dlfcn.h>
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <sys/stat.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  int unlink(const char *pathname)
  {
  	static int (*orig)(const char *pathname) = NULL;
  	struct stat st;

  	if (orig == NULL)
  		orig = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "unlink");
  	if (strstr(pathname, "rtemap_") != NULL &&
			stat(pathname, &st) == 0) {
  		fprintf(stderr, "### refused unlink for %s\n",
  			pathname);
  		errno = EACCES;
  		return -1;
  	}
  	fprintf(stderr, "### called unlink for %s\n", pathname);
  	return orig(pathname);
  }

  int unlinkat(int dirfd, const char *pathname, int flags)
  {
  	static int (*orig)(int dirfd, const char *pathname, int flags) =
  		NULL;
  	struct stat st;

  	if (orig == NULL)
  		orig = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "unlinkat");
  	if (strstr(pathname, "rtemap_") != NULL &&
  			fstatat(dirfd, pathname, &st, flags) == 0) {
  		fprintf(stderr, "### refused unlinkat for %s\n",
  			pathname);
  		errno = EACCES;
  		return -1;
  	}
  	fprintf(stderr, "### called unlinkat for %s\n", pathname);
  	return orig(dirfd, pathname, flags);
  }
  EOF

  # gcc -fPIC -shared  -o libwrap.so wrap.c -ldl
  # \rm /dev/hugepages/rtemap*

  # # First run is fine
  # LD_PRELOAD=libwrap.so dpdk-testpmd -w 0000:01:00.0 -- -i
  [...]

  Port 0: 24:6E:96:3C:52:D8

  testpmd>

  # # Second run we have dirty memory
  # LD_PRELOAD=libwrap.so dpdk-testpmd -w 0000:01:00.0 -- -i
  [...]
  ### refused unlinkat for rtemap_0

  Done

Removing hugepage files is done in multiple places and the memory
allocation code is complex.
This fix tries to do the minimum and avoids touching other paths.

If trying to remove the hugepage file before allocating a page fails,
the error is reported to the caller and the user will see a memory
allocation error log.
