Rather than hardcode the usage, reuse the macro you introduced:
CMD_LINE_OPT_MULTI.

Idem reuse the macro.

Besides look at lib/librte_eal/common/eal_options.h and
lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c.
Define an enum for long only options and map "multi" to an integer that has
no printable character associated.

This way, you can avoid (see below)...

getopt_long already matched the input option for you.
