As a nit - as Pavan patch is already integrated into mainline,
this is not necessary any more, I think.

Also noticed that most of make builds failed due to dependency problem:
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2020-April/127765.html
I can't reproduce it locally, but my guess that we need to move rcu above
ring in this mk file: mk/rte.app.mk
Probably something like that:
