Hi Ferruh

Thanks for your reply.

Firstly, port must be stopped before reset. Usually, port is stopped by rte_eth_dev_reset(), 
so testpmd does not prompt user to stop port. Although it can stop port, but testpmd does not 
change its own port status flag to "RTE_PORT_STOPPED" and it will cause "port start" to fail. 
So I add this patch to stop port as same as running "port stop" command.

"port reset" supports reset all ports (testpmd > port reset all), so this loop is necessary.

OK. I will add it in the next patch.

Thanks.
Shougang
