Since mp_cache and mp_nocache are global variables, this won't
work properly due to the way mempool are created:

	/* create a mempool (without cache) */
	if (mp_nocache == NULL)
	        mp_nocache = rte_mempool_create("perf_test_nocache", MEMPOOL_SIZE,
	                                        MEMPOOL_ELT_SIZE, 0, 0,
	                                        NULL, NULL,
	                                        my_obj_init, NULL,
	                                        SOCKET_ID_ANY, 0);

The if() should be removed, else we'll have a use after free the next
time.

If you want to do more clean-up, you can try to remove the global variables,
but it's maybe harder.

Thanks,
Olivier
