Since the scheduler does not guarantee fairness in scheduling, threads must
time out and check if the example is still running. If this is the case,
just restart the scheduler loop (not the whole example loop which may have
other side effects, e.g. resetting timers with some random tick value),
otherwise break out of the example loop which will terminate the example.

Calling odp_schedule() with a long timeout in a loop is IMO not a very
elegant way of using the scheduler API. It is a brutal work-around.

Yes, short log should not have bug number. Please send v2.

I agree.

I see the sort of structure below as as our style, tIf a guide is needed
see the CONTRIBUTING file and possibly even better looking in odp git to
see how it has been done before, use "git show"
