Race condition between jobstats and time metrics
for forwading and flushing is maintained using spinlock.
Timer metrics are not displayed properly due to the
frequent unavailability of the lock.This patch fixes
the issue by introducing a delay before acquiring
the lock in the loop. This delay allows for betteravailability
of the lock, ensuring that show_lcore_stats() can
periodically update the statistics even when forwarding
jobs are running.
