Applied to dpdk-next-net/main, thanks.


Help output also mentions from jitter calculation [1] and jitter is
actually calculated, so changed document as following while merging:

"Set the logical core N to perform latency and jitter calculations."


[1]
In 'app/test-pmd/parameters.c', help documents as following:
  "  --latencystats=N: enable latency and jitter statistics monitoring
on forwarding lcore id N."
