Suricata ahead of time

I seem to have a 2-second delta between kernel and DPDK time functions both on DPDK 21.11 and 24.03 so it’s probably not DPDK-related - measured on Suricata startup

Notice: dpdk: DPDKSetTimevalReal: 1718976591 GettimeofDay: 1718976589 [ReceiveDPDKLoop:source-dpdk.c:413]
Notice: threads: Threads created -> W: 7 FM: 1 FR: 1   Engine started. [TmThreadWaitOnThreadRunning:tm-threads.c:1925]

Maybe the delta increases with longer runs, I’ll need to investigate it more.
Thanks!
