Subject: [PATCH] net/ena: change memory type

[ upstream commit 9f32c7e7e6ce58ab772913f54f8328c1c0186a17 ]

ENA_MEM_ALLOC_NODE not need to use contiguous physical memory.
Also using memset without checking if allocation succeed can cause
segmentation fault.

To avoid both issue use rte_zmalloc_socket.

Fixes: 3d3edc265fc8 ("net/ena: make coherent memory allocation NUMA-aware")
