Luc Pelletier af68c1d699 eal: fix hang in control thread creation
The affinity of a control thread is set after it has been launched. If
setting the affinity fails, pthread_cancel is called followed by a call
to pthread_join, which can hang forever if the thread's start routine
doesn't call a pthread cancellation point.

This patch modifies the logic so that the control thread exits
gracefully if the affinity cannot be set successfully and removes the
call to pthread_cancel.
