backport mlx patch for DPDK >= 18.05

Memory allocation changed in DPDK 18.05. The mlx4 and mlx5
PMDs did not support using externally allocated memory.

The patch for mlx5 was generated by Mellanox. That patch was
modified to apply to the mlx4 PMD and tested on Microsoft
Azure.

Patches were originally tested and used with VPP master
(prerelease 18.10). Then backported to VPP stable/1807.
