[PATCH v2 0/3] remove __typeof__ from expansion of per lcore macros

The design of the macros requires a type to be provided to the macro.

By expanding the type parameter inside of typeof it also inadvertently
allows an expression to be used which appears not to have been intended
after evaluating the parameter name and existing macro use.

Technically this is an API break but only for applications that were
using these macros outside of the original design intent.

v2:
  * add additional patch to adjust usage for crypto/ipsec_mb

  eal: provide type to per lcore macro
  crypto/ipsec_mb: provide type to per lcore macro
