[PATCH v2 1/2] eal: prevent socket closure before MP sync

The secordary process should not close socket file for MP
channel before performing MP request synchronization.
This prevents error logs when the secondary process exits
without any operation on the crypto device while the primary
process starts the device.

Case situation:
eal_bus_cleanup has been added in rte_eal_cleanup. But for the
secondary process, rte_eal_cleanup firstly performs
rte_mp_channel_cleanup, which closes socket file for the MP
channel, making mp_fd invalid. Subsequently, eal_bus_cleanup
triggers vdev_cleanup, which calls mp_request_sync to send a
message via the MP channel. Since mp_fd is invalid, error logs
occur.

Error logs occur as below when the secordary process exit:
EAL: failed to send to (/tmp/dpdk/l2hicu/mp_socket) due to Bad
file descriptor
EAL: Fail to send request /tmp/dpdk/l2hicu/mp_socket:
ipsec_mb_mp_msg
USER1: Create MR request to primary process failed.

Function call trace:
1. rte_eal_cleanup->rte_mp_channel_cleanup->close_socket_fd
2. rte_eal_cleanup->eal_bus_cleanup->vdev_cleanup->
rte_vdev_driver->ipsec_mb_remove->ipsec_mb_qp_release->
ipsec_mb_secondary_qp_op->rte_mp_request_sync->mp_request_sync->
send_msg->sendmsg(mp_fd, &msgh, 0);
