eal/linux: fix segfaults due to thread exit order

From: Zhichao Zeng <zhichaox.zeng@intel.com>

The eal-intr-thread is not closed before exiting the main
thread. There is a small probability that when the
eal-intr-thread is about to use some pointers, the pointers
were just released in the process of exiting, which cause
the segment fault error caught by ASan.

Close the eal-intr-thread before exiting the mian thread
to avoid segment fault.

Hi Zhichao,

Can you please add the same API for freebsd also.

Thanks
