Warning continuously is a pain when developping or if a unit test
is/gets broken.
It could also be a problem if application behaves badly only in some
corner cases and a DoS results of those logs being continuously displayed.
Let's warn once per port and per rx/tx.
Getting such a log is scary, but let's make it more eye catching by
dumping a backtrace with it.
Tested by introducing a bug in testpmd:
static int
eth_dev_start_mp(uint16_t port_id)
{
- if (is_proc_primary())
+ if (!is_proc_primary())
return rte_eth_dev_start(port_id);
