Windows alarms are bot harmed and executed from the interrupt thread.
rte_eal_alarm_set() dispatched code to arm an alarm to that thread and
waited for its completion via a spinlock. However, if called from alarm
callback (i.e. from the interrupt thread), this caused a deadlock,
because arming could not be run until its dispatcher exits, but it could
only exit after arming has finished.
Call arming code directly when running in the interrupt thread.
