Right now it requires that we pass ./app/test --vdev event_sw0  which I think is a burden, particularly when automating this with the meson test infrastructure down the line.

We can't pass extra parameter while running test (it will only accept test name).
So, I will register pmd specific test test_eventdev_sw/octeontx which will
create the eventdev and call the selftest API.

Also, I have mistakenly changed the name from event_sw0 to event_sw do you want
me to revert it? or retain the change.

Cheers,
Pavan.
