This patch was waiting dependent patch, which seems merged now.

But now because of "__rte_experimental" tag in
rte_mbuf_set_platform_mempool_ops() that this patch uses getting build errors [1].

Need to add a special note to pmd makefile to allow experimental API usage:
CFLAGS += -DALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API
