Once the library usage is over, it must be deinitialized which
will free the shared memory reserved during initialization.
Observed an issue while running 'metrics_autotest' continuously
without quiting. For the first run 'metrics_autotest' passes
all test cases but second run onwards first test case fails
because metrics library is already initialized during first run.

+Deinitialising the library
+--------------------------
+
+Once the library usage is done, it must be deinitialized by calling
+``rte_metrics_deinit()`` which will free the shared memory reserved
+during initialization.

+.. code-block:: c
+
+ err = rte_metrics_deinit(void);
+
+If the return value is negative, it means deinitialization failed.
