There may be some problems with the implementation of eal_pmu_fini(), 
but I'm not sure.

I checked some test reports for this series. It seems that the test case 
of `debug_autotest` in

the DPDK unit test has an issue when the child process in this test case 
calls the function of  rte_exit().

The call chain is as follows:

     test_debug() -> test_exit() -> test_exit_val() -> rte_exit() -> 
rte_eal_cleanup() -> eal_pmu_fini().

The issue may be related to memory free from the error message as follows:

test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
   Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 2
   Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 255
   Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory
EAL: Error - exiting with code: -1
   Cause: test_exit_valEAL: Error: Invalid memory

The above error message will disappear when I comment out the calling to 
the eal_pmu_fini() in

the rte_eal_cleanup().
