From: Matthew G McGovern <mamcg...@microsoft.com>
The example apps have a few different failure modes when enabling promiscuous
mode:
- testpmd will warn about the failure and continue.
- l3fwd has a flag '-P' to explicitly require promiscuous mode.
- symmetric_mp will exit with an error code
This patch changes symmetric_mp to warn and continue.
