[PATCH v3 2/3] testpmd: use sig_atomic_t for flag

[Stephen Hemminger]

Standard conforming signal handling in applications should use sig_atomic_t
for flags set by signal handler.
 https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Atomic-Data-Access.html

This is really just a fancy way of saying ''int'' but adds
to platform portablilty for DPDK.
