[PATCH v1 3/3] examples/l3fwd-power: enable PMD power mgmt on Arm

[Feifei Wang]

For Arm aarch, power monitor uses WFE instruction to enable, which can
not exit automatically within the time limit. This means
'rte_power_monitor_wakeup' API needs to be called to wake up sleep cores
if there is no store operation to monitored address.

Furthermore, we disable power monitor feature on the main core so that it
can be used to wake up other sleeping cores when it receives SIGINT
siginal.
