It deserves an explanation of what the patch does, i.e. the new logic.
If think you just want to remove the log init from rte_eal_init and
use the default stream when it is not initialized (NULL).

You could also remove the early log stream since the default one could
work from the early stage. Indeed the complex log history was removed:

Thanks for improving the usability.
