Subject: [PATCH] examples/exception_path: fix out-of-bounds read

[ upstream commit 4341adf272144689540a8e0f615f12eef7e21109 ]

When printing out stats from the exception_path app, all possible
lcore_ids are iterated. However, the app only supports up to 64 cores.
To prevent possible errors, and to remove coverity warnings,
explicitly check for out-of-range lcore ids before printing.

Coverity issue: 268335
Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
