Subject: [PATCH] examples/eventdev_pipeline: fix segfault on exit

This commit fixes a segfault on exit by using Ctrl^C if the master lcore was also being used as a worker core. The root cause of the issue was that the interrupt handler was cleaning up resources such as the ethdev and eventdev ports, and once the interrupt handler would return, that thread would continue working as an eventdev worker, and dereference the memory which just had free() called on it.

Fixed by moving the cleanup code from the interrupt handler to the cleanup stage of main(), which the master thread will execute once it has returned from its worker() functionality.

Fixes: 085edac2ca38 ("examples/eventdev_pipeline: support Tx adapter")
