[PATCH 1/3] eal: fix pointer arithmetic with an expression argument

RTE_PTR_SUB(ptr, x) and RTE_PTR_ALIGN_FLOOR() worked incorrectly
if "ptr" was an expression:

    uint32_t arr[3];

    RTE_PTR_SUB(arr + 1, sizeof(arr[0]));
    // expected: (uint32_t *)((uintptr_t)(arr + 1) - 4) == arr
    // actual:   (uint32_t *)((uintptr_t) arr + 1  - 4) != arr

    RTE_PTR_ALIGN_FLOOR(arr + 2, sizeof(arr[0]));
    // expected: RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR((uintptr_t)(arr + 2), 4) == &arr[2]
    // actual:   RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR((uintptr_t) arr + 2,  4) == &arr[0]

Fix the macros and extend the relevant unit test.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
