On systems with more cpu than RTE_MAX_LCORE, starting DPDK with
cores >= RTE_MAX_LCORE ends up with an ambiguous error log.

Example with RTE_MAX_LCORE=8:
$ taskset -c 8 ./build/app/dpdk-testpmd
EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 8
EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1
EAL: Invalid 'command line' arguments.
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
Cannot init EAL: Invalid argument

Add a better hint to help the user.
