[dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to stable release 18.02.2

[Richardson, Bruce]

Hi Luca,

my patch: "89200580e  Bruce Richardson kernel: fix cross-build of Linux modules with meson" depends on the patches moving the drivers to the kernel folder. As it's for meson build which was only in beta in that release, I don't think it's worth backporting.

> NOTE: for the patches using strlcpy, the issue is that strlcpy is not
