[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] telemetry: fix race in telemetry control thread creation

[Alvin Zhang]

From: Alvin Zhang <alvinzhx@intel.com>

Before calling thread returns from the function
"rte_ctrl_thread_create", the newly created thread may have ran
and exited for "thread_status" was 0.

This patch puts setting "thread_status" status before creating
new thread.

Fixes: 8877ac688b52 ("telemetry: introduce infrastructure")
