kni: fix kernel crash with multi-segments

va2pa depends on the physical address and virtual address offset of
current mbuf. It may get the wrong physical address of next mbuf which
allocated in another hugepage segment.

In rte_mempool_populate_default(), trying to allocate whole block of
contiguous memory could be failed. Then, it would reserve memory in
several memzones that have different physical address and virtual address
offsets. The rte_mempool_populate_default() is used by
rte_pktmbuf_pool_create().

Fixes: 8451269e6d ("kni: remove continuous memory restriction")

+This thread will enqueue the mbuf in the rx_q FIFO,

 The KNI thread will poll all KNI active devices for the rx_q.
 If an mbuf is dequeued, it will be converted to a sk_buff and sent to the net stack via netif_rx().
-The dequeued mbuf must be freed, so the same pointer is sent back in the free_q FIFO.
+The dequeued mbuf must be freed, so the same pointer is sent back in the free_q FIFO,
+and next pointers must convert back to virtual address if exists before put in the free_q FIFO.
 
 The RX thread, in the same main loop, polls this FIFO and frees the mbuf after dequeuing it.
+The address conversion of the next pointer is to prevent the chained mbuf
