make flip_bit() as lcore_function_t.
Found this issue with gcc 8.1

test/test/test_distributor_perf.c: In function ‘time_cache_line_switch’:
test/test/test_distributor_perf.c:59:24: warning: cast between
incompatible function types from ‘void (*)(volatile uint64_t *)’ {aka
‘void (*) (volatile long unsigned int *)’} to ‘int (*)(void *)’
[-Wcast-function-type] rte_eal_remote_launch((lcore_function_t *)flip_bit,
&data[0], slaveid);

Fixes: c3eabff124e6 ("distributor: add unit tests")
