Subject: [PATCH] examples/kni: fix crash during MTU set

During MTU set (kni_change_mtu) sample application setup queues, which can free and re-allocate queues.
Meanwhile sample application keeps continues in Rx/Tx burst calls in different threads, which may cause crash during queue setup.

Pausing application Rx/Tx calls before MTU set and starts it back afterwards.

Bugzilla ID: 482
Fixes: a26b116749a3 ("examples/kni: fix MTU change to setup Tx queue")
