Usually odp_generator exists when veth is destroyed, but not
always. Because cpu load impacts on other performance tests
we have to be sure that odp_generator is not running in background.

 next step will be move odp_l2fwd_run inside platfrom directory.

This will kill other running instances too, it would be better to save
the pid when the generator is launched; GEN_PID=$!

That is nicer, but should there be other instances running if you are
executing performance tests ?

Agree with Stuart just killing all we are can hide some other issues. We 
should kill only what we run.
Sent update patch with v prefix (should be v2).
