[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] timer bug fix

Bug: When a timer is running   - if rte_timer_stop is
 called, the pending decrement is   skipped (decremented
 only if the timer is pending) and due   to the update
 flag the future processing is skipped so the   timer is
 counted as pending while it is stopped. - the same  
 applies when rte_timer_reset is called but then the
 pending   statistics is additionally incremented so the
 timer is   counted pending twice. 
Solution: decrement
 the pending   statistics after returning from the
 callback. If   rte_timer_stop was called, it skipped
 decrementing the   pending statistics. If
 rte_time_reset was called, the   pending statistics was
 incremented. If neither was called   and the timer is
 periodic, the pending statistics is   incremented when
 it is reloaded
