[PATCH v5 2/6] eal: turn off getopt_long error message during eal_log_level

If DPDK application is given a bogus option, the error message
would get printed twice. Once during scan for log level and
again during parsing of arguments.

Example:
	# ./build/app/dpdk-testpmd --bogus
	./build/app/dpdk-testpmd: unrecognized option '--bogus'
	EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 16
	EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1
	./build/app/dpdk-testpmd: unrecognized option '--bogus'

	Usage: ./build/app/dpdk-testpmd [options]

Fix by suppressing printing error message on first pass.
