It's possible for dpdk initialization to fail either due to an internal
error or an invalid configuration. When that happens, it's rather
impolite to immediately abort. Worse, any respawn mechanism will be
contsantly restarting the ovs-vswitchd process only to have an ovs-assert
be hit.
With this change, a failed dpdk initialization attempt will no longer
trigger a SIGABRT. Instead, the failure will be logged, and OvS will
continue to operate sans dpdk. A restart of OvS would still be required
to re-attempt initialization.
