Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/2] examples/performance-thread: add arm64 support

["Sekhar, Ashwin" <Ashwin.Sekhar@cavium.com>]

This license is already there in many files in examples/performance-
thread directory.

There are two cases in my patch.

1.
I moved some code from examples/performance-thread/common/lthread.c to 
examples/performance-thread/common/arch/x86/stack.h. 
lthread.c already has the below kind of license. So I think there is no
issue retaining the same in stack.h also.

2. 
I added the following files.
examples/performance-thread/common/arch/arm64/ctx.c  
examples/performance-thread/common/arch/arm64/ctx.h  
examples/performance-thread/common/arch/arm64/stack.h

These are actually written by me and not taken from the github link.
By mistake I copied the license entirely :)

For these files, I shall remove it and re-post a v3.

Thanks
Ashwin
