[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] eal/service: fix exit by resetting service lcores

[Harry van Haaren <harry.van.haaren@intel.com>]

This commit releases all service cores from their role,
returning them to ROLE_RTE on rte_service_finalize().

This may fix an issue relating to the service cores causing
a race-condition on eal_cleanup(), where the service core
could still be executing while the main thread has already
free-d the service memory, leading to a segfault.

Fixes: 21698354c832 ("service: introduce service cores concept")
