[PATCH] test: fix race in per lcore test

[PATCH] test: fix race in per lcore test

[David Marchand]

In some CI, this unit test can fail, as the main thread may get
rescheduled while lcores execute the callback waiting 100ms.

Bugzilla ID: 1668
Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
