[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/8] examples/performance-thread: remove warning disabling

[Bruce Richardson]

The warnings about functions not returning values can be removed from the
code by just adding an attribute to the function to specify it doesn't
return. The GCC bug referenced in the makefile which prevents this from
working has been fixed for >10 years according to bugzilla.
