[dts] [dpdk-dts] [PATCH] tests/multiprocess: disable ASLR for multiprocess tests.

[Jogarao Nartu <njogarao@caviumnetworks.com>]

Address-Space Layout Randomization can interfere hugepages memory
mapping so disable this feature to run multi-process applications.

Re-enable ASLR after tests completed.
