[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mem: warn user when running without NUMA support

[Anatoly Burakov]

Running in non-legacy mode on a NUMA-enabled system without libnuma
is unsupported, so explicitly print out a warning when trying to
do so.

Running in legacy mode without libnuma is still supported whether or
not we are running with libnuma support enabled, so also fix init to
allow that scenario.
