Rather than add those calls, can maintainers check if their component
can use ctrl threads instead?
rte_ctrl_thread_create ensures both that the name is set, and that the
ctrl thread won't run on the same cpu as "datapath" threads.

I also saw some issues with components creating threads.
I'll post a series addressing those later (net/ark, net/ice not
detaching/joining created threads + telemetry not checking
pthread_create failures).
