vlib: allocating buffers on thread-x and freeing them on thread-y causes
a crash on debug image (VPP-1151) In debug image, there is extra code to validate the buffer when it is freed. It uses the hash table to lookup the buffer index with spinlock to prevent contention. However, there is one spinlock for each worker thread. So allocating the buffer on thread-x and freeing the same buffer on thread-y causes the validation to fail on thread-y. The fix is to have only one spinlock, stored in vlib_global_main. Change-Id: Ic383846cefe84a3e262255afcf82276742f0f62e Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
