Use dynamically allocated memory for storing soft expiry ring base

Hi Vamsi,
"fix static assertion failure" is not enough descriptive.
assertions already added to verify assumptions, and in this case it seems it
failed, but what was actually wrong?
Is it that allocated memory size for ring wrong? (this is what I got from
commit log but I am not sure)
Can you please describe what actually was wrong and fixed now?
Hi Ferruh,
Earlier sa_soft_exp_ring struct member was an array of pointers and it's size
is linked to num RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS,
and the whole struct size is confined and protected by size assertion. It
resulted in build failure with -Dmax_ethports=1024
option and assertion caught that failure. V2 fixes the issues by allocating the
required memory dynamically instead
of using array of pointers.
Thanks Vamsi for details,
I was expecting a new version of patch with updated commit log,
but to make patch for -rc3 I will update it in next-net according
above information
