[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/4] testpmd: fix LACP ports to work with idle links

Problem: When there is little or no TX traffic on an LACP port
(bonding mode 4), we don't call its tx burst function in a timely
manner, and thus we don't transmit LACPDUs when we should.
Solution: Add and maintain an "lacp_master" flag in rte_port struct.
In the main packet forwarding loop, if port is an LACP master, in 1
out of N loops force an empty call to the tx burst API.
