[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] net/mlx5: load libmlx5 and libibverbs in run-time

[Shachar Beiser <shacharbe@mellanox.com>]

MLX5 PMD loads libraries: libibverbs and libmlx5.
MLX5 PMD is not linked to external libraries.

Signed-off-by: Shachar Beiser <shacharbe@mellanox.com>
---
v1: 
    load external libraries in run-time
v2:
    * fix checkpatch warnings 
v3:
    * fix checkpatch warnings
v4:
    New  MACROs in order to reuse code
