I would suggest for this that we break the link with RTE_MAX_LCORE. Instead,
we can just enforce a hard limit on the distributor that it can only work
with 64 worker cores. That should avoid any complications.
I would suggest we do a further check in the create function something like
the below:
if (num_workers >= sizeof(d->in_flight_bitmask) * CHAR_BIT) {
rte_errno = .....
