[PATCH] app/dma_perf: skip case if worker maps to main lcore

[Rupesh Chiluka]

When a configured worker lcore is same as EAL main lcore, the main
thread calls `rte_eal_remote_launch()` on itself and then waits for
`worker_info.ready_flag`. The worker function cannot run on the main
lcore while the main thread is blocked in that loop, and the test hangs.

Reject such cases early in the `run_test()`.
