[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: fix core number validation

[Hari Kumar Vemula <hari.kumarx.vemula@intel.com>]

When incorrect core value or range provided,
as part of -l command line option, a crash occurs.

Added valid range checks to fix the crash.

Fixes: d888cb8b9613 ("eal: add core list input format")
