[PATCH v6 10/26] eal: do not panic on log failures

From: Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com>
Date: 2017-02-28 18:53:24
Subsystem: library code, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

When log initialization fails, it's generally because the fopencookie
failed.  While this is rare in practice, it could happen, and it is
likely because of memory pressure.  So, flag the error, and allow the
user to retry.
