+1 to "err < 0", it seems 'tap_lsc_intr_handle_set()' can return positive on
success for 'rte_intr_callback_unregister()' path.

for the case "set == 1", this function may be called and it will try to free
some resources, but this may cause redundant free calls and cause segfault, did
you able to have any chance to test this mentioned path?
What about putting a "if (!set)" before calling this function?
