[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/1] fbarray: fix duplicated fbarray file in secondary

[yasufum.o@gmail.com]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <ogawa.yasufumi@lab.ntt.co.jp>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work if several secondaries run as app containers because each
of containerized secondary has PID 1, and failed to reserve unique name
other than first one. To reserve unique name in each of containers, use
hostname instead of PID only if PID is 1.
