[PATCH] eal: warn if no lcore is available

[David Marchand]

On systems with more cpu than RTE_MAX_LCORE, starting DPDK with
cores >= RTE_MAX_LCORE ends up with an ambiguous error log.

Example with RTE_MAX_LCORE=8:
$ taskset -c 8 ./build/app/dpdk-testpmd
EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 8
EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1
EAL: Invalid 'command line' arguments.
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
Cannot init EAL: Invalid argument

Add a better hint to help the user.

Fixes: 2eba8d21f3c9 ("eal: restrict cores auto detection")
