The DPDK telemetry library tries to connect to existing socket files so
that it knows whether it can take over them.
As was reported by Christian, following a fix in DPDK that got backported
in v23.11.1, vhost-user unit tests that have both OVS and testpmd running
at the same time reveal a conflict over the telemetry socket.
This conflict shows up as an error message in OVS logs which makes those
tests fail in the CI:
2024-06-06T13:03:38.351Z|00001|dpdk|ERR|TELEMETRY: Socket write base info
to client failed
The EAL file-prefix option affects both the directory where DPDK stores
running files (like the telemetry socket) and how files backing hugepages
are named (when in non --in-memory mode).
Configure (again) this prefix so that testpmd runs in a dedicated directory.
