[PATCH v6] app/test: secondary process passes allow parameters

[Mingjin Ye]

In EAL related test cases, the allow parameters are not passed to
the secondary process, resulting in unexpected NICs being loaded.

This patch fixes this issue by appending the allow parameters to
the secondary process.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
