lib/librte_latencystats/rte_latencystats.c:204:27: fatal error:
using integer absolute value function 'abs'
when argument is of floating point type [-Wabsolute-value]
                glob_stats->jitter +=  (abs(prev_latency - latency[i])
                                        ^
note: use function 'fabsf' instead

I am a bit sad to see such error at v14.
Do you want I fix it for you?
