[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] mem: fix freeing an IVSHMEM memzone

There is no sync between host and guest to allow removal of memzones,
and freeing them result in undefined behavior.

In the guest, we identify IVSHMEM memsegs/memzones by having
ioremap_addr != 0. In the host, nothing is done to the memzone, meaning
ioremap_addr == 0.

As a solution, mark memzones being added to IVSHMEM in the host, by
setting ioremap_addr, then return an error whenever we try to free an
IVSHMEM memzone.

Fixes: ff909fe21f0 ("mem: introduce memzone freeing")
