If the user tries to reset/stop some other timer in it's callback
function, which is also about to expire, using 
rte_timer_reset_sync/rte_timer_stop_sync the application goes into
an infinite loop. This happens because 
rte_timer_reset_sync/rte_timer_stop_sync loop until the timer 
resets/stops and there is check inside timer_set_config_state which
prevents a running timer from being reset/stopped by not it's own 
timer_cb. Therefore timer_set_config_state returns -1 due to which 
rte_timer_reset returns -1 and rte_timer_reset_sync goes into an 
infinite loop. 

The soloution to this problem is to return -1 from 
rte_timer_reset_sync/rte_timer_stop_sync in case the user tries to 
reset/stop some other timer in it's callback function.

This is an API change and needs to wait until a breaking release like 20.11.
Also most applications won't test the result.

This mixing code and declarations. since the macro has a return statement.

Maybe:

	struct rte_timer_data *timer_data;
	unsigned int lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();

	TIMER_DATA_VALID_GET_OR_ERR_RET(default_data_id, timer_data, -EINVAL);

I will fix this in the next version.

Okay,waiting till the next breaking release sounds fine to me.
