[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] efd: change data type of parameter

[Pablo de Lara <pablo.de.lara.guarch@intel.com>]

rte_efd_create() function was using uint8_t for a socket bitmask,
for one of its parameters.
This limits the maximum of NUMA sockets to be 8.
Changing to to uint64_t increases it to 64, which should be
more future-proof.

Coverity issue: 366390
Fixes: 56b6ef874f8 ("efd: new Elastic Flow Distributor library")

This fix requires an API breakage and therefore it is not
a good candidate for backporting (besides, it is a very low impact bug).
Hence, I am not CC'ing stable.
