From: Maxime Leroy <maxime.leroy@6wind.com>

vdev ethdev can not be allocated on a numa socket that is not socket 0.
The reason comes from rte_eth_dev_allocate() which uses rte_socket_id() to
identify the socket on which vdev driver data should be allocated.
However, at this initialization step, rte_socket_id() always returns 0.

Looking at rte_socket_id(), it needs rte_lcore_id() which uses the per-core
global _lcore_id variable. This variable is initialised by
eal_thread_init_master.

So eal_thread_init_master should be called before rte_eal_vdev_init().
