[PATCH] lib/mempool : rte_mempool_avail_count, fixing return bigger than mempool size

[Yasin CANER]

Hello,

I don't have full knowledge of how to work rte_mempool_ops_get_count() but
there is another comment about it. Maybe it relates.
/*
 * due to race condition (access to len is not locked), the
 * total can be greater than size... so fix the result
 */

Best regards.
