Only become true when the first enabled port about to started. In case there's no port enabled at all.
In my opinion no need to optimize since it's not performance sensitive and the logic is correct :)

Good point! Then we need rte_atomic16_cmpset() to avoid the race condition.

If no port has been started, then just kill itself.
This is for cases like when you just started it and then want to shut it down, it'll wait a long time for initialization (memory, etc.) before the force_quit signal take effect.
