[PATCH 1/2] examples/symmetric-mp: ignore promisc enable failure

[mamcgove at microsoft.com]

From: Matthew G McGovern <mamcgove at microsoft.com>

Problem: Some devices do not allow promiscuous mode.

Testpmd handles this by warning and ignoring failures from
rte_eth_promiscuous_enable.

Changes: make symmetric-mp warn if promiscuous mode cannot be
enabled, rather than failing.
