[PATCH] test/debug: fix crash with mlx5 devices

[David Marchand]

Running rte_exit() in a forked process means that shared memory will be
released by the child process before the parent process does the same.
This issue has been seen recently when some GHA virtual machine (with
some mlx5 devices) runs the debug_autotest unit test.

Instead, run rte_panic() and rte_exit() from a new DPDK process spawned
like for other recursive unit tests.

Bugzilla ID: 1796
Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
