Currently, telemetry is not working for shared builds in make.
The --as-needed flag is preventing telemetry from being linked as there are
no direct API calls from the app to telemetry. This is causing the
--telemetry option to not be recognized by EAL.
Telemetry registers it's EAL option using the RTE_INIT constructor. Since
EAL's option parsing is done before the plugins init, the --telemetry
option isn't registered at the time of parsing, and as a result, the
--telemetry option is not being recognized.
This patch fixes this issue by explicitly linking telemetry to the
application by setting the "--no-as-needed" flag for the library in
mk/rte.app.mk.
