From UNH CI, we had a fail for dpdk-test per_lcore_autotest, due to
rte_eal_mp_remote_launch launching an lcore which is already running. I have
attached the testlogs, and the relevant blurgs are below.

The test:

```
test_per_lcore(void)
{
unsigned lcore_id;
int ret;

rte_eal_mp_remote_launch(assign_vars, NULL, SKIP_MAIN);
RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_WORKER(lcore_id) {
if (rte_eal_wait_lcore(lcore_id) < 0)
return -1;
}

rte_eal_mp_remote_launch(display_vars, NULL, SKIP_MAIN);
RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_WORKER(lcore_id) {
if (rte_eal_wait_lcore(lcore_id) < 0)
return -1;
}

/* test if it could do remote launch twice at the same time or not */
ret = rte_eal_mp_remote_launch(test_per_lcore_delay, NULL, SKIP_MAIN);
if (ret < 0) {
printf("It fails to do remote launch but it should able to do\n");
return -1;
}
/* it should not be able to launch a lcore which is running */
ret = rte_eal_mp_remote_launch(test_per_lcore_delay, NULL, SKIP_MAIN);
if (ret == 0) {
printf("It does remote launch successfully but it should not at this time\n");
return -1;
}
RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_WORKER(lcore_id) {
if (rte_eal_wait_lcore(lcore_id) < 0)
return -1;
}

return 0;
}
```

The patch which triggered the run which resulted in the fail has CI results
here, although it is unrelated to the failure: Patch:
https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/patchsets/32742/

I will also note that Debian 11 is EOL and should be removed from our CI. We
will do this, but I felt that I should add this bug anyhow since it is unlikely
to be caused by the OS version.
