Acked-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Before this patch, reproduced the pb in less than 2 minutes with:
# time (log=/tmp/$$.log; while true; do echo service_autotest |taskset
-c 0-1 build-gcc-static/app/test/dpdk-test --log-level *:8 -l 0-1
>$log 2>&1; grep -q 'Test OK' $log || break; done; cat $log; rm -f
$log)

With the patch, this loop has been running for 40 minutes.

Applied, thanks.
