The rte_service_lcore_reset_all function stops execution of services
on all lcores and switches them back from ROLE_SERVICE to ROLE_RTE.
However the thread loop for slave lcores (eal_thread_loop) distincts these
roles to set lcore state after processing delegated function.
It sets WAIT state for ROLE_SERVICE, but FINISHED for ROLE_RTE.
So changing the role to RTE before stopping work in slave lcores
causes lcores to end in FINISHED state. That is why the rte_eal_lcore_wait
must be run after rte_service_lcore_reset_all to bring back lcores to
launchable (WAIT) state.
This has been fixed in test app and clarified in API documentation.
Setting the state to WAIT in rte_service_runner_func is premature
as the rte_service_runner_func function is still a part of the lcore
function delegated to slave lcore. The state is overwritten anyway in
slave lcore thread loop. This premature setting state to WAIT might
however cause rte_eal_lcore_wait, that was called by the application,
to return before slave lcore thread set the FINISHED state. That's
why it is removed from librte_eal rte_service_runner_func function.
