[PATCH 02/10] test/telemetry: fix test calling all commands

[PATCH 02/10] test/telemetry: fix test calling all commands

[David Marchand]

This test was doing nothing as it could not find the telemetry client
script following the test suite rework.

Caught while looking at UNH unit test logs:

/root/workspace/Generic-Unit-Test-DPDK/dpdk/app/test/suites/test_telemetry.sh:
18: /root/workspace/Generic-Unit-Test-DPDK/dpdk/app/usertools/dpdk-telemetry.py:
not found

Fixes: 9da71dc4f96e ("test: add test case for scripted telemetry commands")

[PATCH 04/10] eal: fix plugin dir walk

While this is correct, the use of "++" in a call to a macro sets off some
alarm bells for me!
Can we put the "++" in the while instead, as "++low"?

Maybe I'm a little slow this morning, but I can't see how this is actually
a problem. By my understanding, the check for "first != NULL && last !=
NULL" happens before any increment of "first = last + 1", meaning we are
guaranteed that the last is never null when we increment it.
