[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] ipc: stop mp control thread on cleanup

When calling rte_eal_cleanup, the mp channel cleanup routine only sets
mp_fd to -1 leaving the rte_mp_handle control thread running.
This control thread can spew warnings on reading on an invalid fd.
This is especially noticed with ASAN enabled.

To handle this situation, set mp_fd to -1 to signal the control thread
it should exit, but since this thread might be sleeping on the socket,
cancel the thread too.

Fixes: 85d6815fa6d0 ("eal: close multi-process socket during cleanup")

Changes since v1:
- no functional change, but left close_socket_fd() helper to keep
  symmetry with rte_mp_channel_init()/open_socket_fd(),
