[PATCH 2/2] examples/mp_server: warn on promisc enable failure

[mamcgove at microsoft.com]

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

Change to treat promiscuous enablement failures as nonfatal in the
client_mp/server_mp examples.

Some devices (mana) support promiscuous mode; but require
a cloud networking configuration change to enable it.

This change will allow examples/multi_process applications
to run in these environments.
