dpdk: Use DPDK 21.11.2 release.
Update OVS CLI and relevant documentation to use DPDK 21.11.2.
DPDK 21.11.2 contains fixes for the CVEs listed below:
CVE-2022-28199 [1]
CVE-2022-2132 [2]
A bug was introduced in DPDK 21.11.1 by the commit
01e3dee29c02 ("vhost: fix unsafe vring addresses modifications").
This bug can cause a deadlock when vIOMMU is enabled and NUMA
reallocation of the virtqueues happen.
A fix [3] has been posted and pushed to the DPDK 21.11 branch.
If a user wishes to avoid the issue then it is recommended to use
DPDK 21.11.0 until the release of DPDK 21.11.3.
It should be noted that DPDK 21.11.0 does not benefit from the
numerous bug and CVE fixes addressed since its release.
If a user wishes to benefit from these fixes it is recommended to
use DPDK 21.11.2.
