When DPDK is run with --in-memory mode, multiple processes can run
simultaneously using the same runtime dir. This leads to each process,
as it starts up, removing the telemetry socket of another process,
giving unexpected behaviour.
This patch changes that behaviour to first check if the existing socket
is active. If not, it's an old socket to be cleaned up and can be
removed. If it is active, telemetry initialization fails and an error
message is printed out giving instructions on how to remove the error;
either by using file-prefix to have a different runtime dir (and
therefore socket path) or by disabling telemetry if it not needed.
Fixes: 6dd571fd07c3 ("telemetry: introduce new functionality")
