[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] lib/metrics: add check for invalid metric keys

[Remy Horton]

This patchset adds a check to rte_metrics_update_values()
that prevents the updating of metrics when presented with
an invalid metric key. Previously, doing the latter could
result in a crash.

Fixes: 349950ddb9c5 ("metrics: add information metrics library")
