This fixes build with NUMA_AWARE_HUGEPAGES enabled and VHOST_NUMA
disabled. This should not be a usual case. But it's possible to
configure DPDK this way.

Fixes: 5e925ccc2a6f ("netdev-dpdk: DPDK v17.11 upgrade")

Out of interest, with RTE_EAL_NUMA_AWARE_HUGEPAGES defined but not 
RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_NUMA, does vhost numa still work as expected?

If RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_NUMA disabled, all the numa related code from
librte_vhost will be compiled out. So, rte_vhost_get_numa_node()
will always return -1. i.e. we will not be able to reallocate
memory pools according to numa node where VM started.

At the same time eal_memory and eal_memalloc modules will work fine
allocating hugepages and memory from the requested numa nodes.

There are few realistic examples for that case:
  1. User builds dpdk without vhost library because there is no plan to
     run VMs on target platform. (Some HW switch or edge node).
  2. User builds dpdk without vhost library because there is a plan to
     use SR-IOV with full HW offloading and port representors. No
     vhost ports planned. (Not possible with upstream OVS, but patches
     are already on a list).

Thanks for the clarification.

I've pushed to master and backported to OVS 2.9.

Thanks
