[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] log/linux: make default output stderr

[Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yigit@intel.com>]

In Linux by default DPDK log goes to stdout, as well as syslog.

It is possible for an application to change the library output stream
via 'rte_openlog_stream()' API, to set it to stderr, it can be used as:
rte_openlog_stream(stderr);

But still updating the default log output to 'stderr'.
