[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 1/2] service: fix lcore role after delete

This patch fixes the reset of the service core,
that when rte_service_lcore_del() is called, the
lcore_role is restored to RTE.

This issue was reported as when running the unit tests, an
error was thrown that "failed to allocate lcore". Investigating
revealed that the state of the service-cores after del() was
not allowing a core to be re-used at a later point in time.

Fixes: 21698354c832 ("service: introduce service cores concept")

v4:
- Improve commit title (Bruce)

v3:
- Fix whitespace issue introduced in v2 (Doh :)

v2:
- Only update state on service core ids (Pavan)

@Stable maintainers; this is an EXPERIMENTAL tagged API, so I'm
not sure what the expectation is in terms of backporting.
