[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/3] eal/thread: ignore rte_thread_setname() failure in ctrl thread

[Dariusz Stojaczyk]

From: Dariusz Stojaczyk <dariuszx.stojaczyk at intel.com>

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.
