[1/2] test/rcu: increase the size of num cores variable

  num_cores is of type uint8_t. This results in the following
compilation error.

test_rcu_qsbr_perf.c:649:16: error: comparison is always false
due to limited range of data type [-Werror=type-limits]
  if (num_cores >= RTE_MAX_LCORE) {
                ^~

RTE_MAX_LCORE is set to 256 for armv8 config.

Fixes: e6a14121f4ae ("test/rcu: remove arbitrary limit on max core count")

Weird I did not see this error in travis.
Just tried again:

If we want to be closer to the eal API, those should be unsigned int.

I agree, please use unsigned int where relevant.

Sent v2. There are other similar cases, may be in a follow up patch.
