[PATCH v4] app/testpmd: stop secondary process fwd_lcores during primary teardown

Wed Sep 17 13:36:01 CEST 2025
When the secondary process testpmd application running any fwd_engine
and after that primary has exited will cause a crash.
This patch forces secondary process forwarding lcores
in fwd_engine to stop before the primary process exits.
Fixes: a550baf24af90f ("app/testpmd: support multi-process")
