When testpmd runs in interactive mode, SIGINT is handled by setting
the quit flag and calling prompt_exit() so the cmdline input path can
be interrupted.
However, prompt() frees the cmdline object with cmdline_stdin_exit()
after cmdline_interact() returns, while the global testpmd_cl pointer
may still be observed by a later signal during shutdown. If SIGINT
arrives after the cmdline object is freed, prompt_exit() may call
cmdline_quit() on stale state and trigger a use-after-free.
Keep the existing prompt_exit() behavior so interactive input can
still be cancelled, but move the cmdline object lifetime under a
local pointer and use atomic load/store for testpmd_cl so the signal
path cannot observe freed state.
This preserves the interactive-mode fix introduced for Windows while
avoiding a shutdown-time use-after-free.
