Access of any memory in the hugepage shared file-backed area will trigger
an unexpected forked child process segment fault. The root cause is DPDK
doesn't support fork model [1] (calling rte_eal_init() before fork()).
Forked child process can't be treated as a secondary process.

Hence fix it by avoiding fork and doing verification in the main process.
