> Testpmd can stuck inside do while loop of the flush_fwd_rx_queues()
> function. As non-zero packets are returned always by rte_eth_rx_burst()
> function when compiled with no optimizations and if input line rate is
> high. "do while" loop must exit at one stage to proceed further to
> enable packet forwarding and forward the packets. So timer is set to
> exit the do while loop after 1 second.
