[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eal: add API to check if its interrupt context

[Harman Kalra <hkalra@marvell.com>]

Added an API to check if current execution is in interrupt
context. This will be helpful to handle nested interrupt cases.

Signed-off-by: Harman Kalra <hkalra@marvell.com>

V2:
* Removed unnecessary if statement.
* Reworded subject line
* Updated return values of API
