examples/ip_pipeline: fix false cacheline sharing among threads

In ip_pipeline app, the structure app_thread_data needs to be aligned to
the cache line boundary as threads on different cpu cores are accessing
fields of the app->thread_data and having this structure not aligned on
cacheline boundary leads to false cacheline sharing.
