Currently, change of 'pmd-cpu-mask' is very heavy operation.
It requires destroying of all the PMD threads and creating
them back. After that, all the threads will sleep until
ports' redistribution finished.

This patch adds ability to not stop the datapath while
adjusting number/placement of PMD threads. All not affected
threads will forward traffic without any additional latencies.

id-pool created for static tx queue ids to keep them sequential
in a flexible way. non-PMD thread will always have
static_tx_qid = 0 as it was before.
