Your previous implementation was correct, this one is not. Per documentation,
rte_delay_us_sleep() should *sleep* in an OS-dependent way, like you did with
waitable timers previously, while rte_delay_us() does a busy loop like this.
Please restore this function from v4, the rest LGTM.

P.S. Fixed my email in Cc.
