The issue is due to enablement of a new feature for every platforms without
dependency check.
Actually the patch should disable CONFIG_RTE_SCHED_VECTOR for every non-x86
platforms.
Another fix is discussed in another thread to disable the feature inside the
code if the platform cannot support it (currently AVX is required).
