Subject: eal: ignore failure of naming a control thread
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=368a91d6bdc8225c585044b4e7debcd3e5fdc0d4;p=dpdk.git

eal: ignore failure of naming a control thread

The error is not fatal and we can physically continue
creating the thread. It simply won't have a name.

If rte_thread_setname() fails, we will just print
a debug log now. EAL does the same for lcore threads.
