[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] dev: don't fail the hotplug request if device is attached in secondary

[Darek Stojaczyk <dariusz.stojaczyk@intel.com>]

Consider the following scenario:

 1) primary process (A) starts, probes the bus
 2) a secondary process (B) starts, probes the bus
 3) yet another secondary process (C) starts
 4) (C) registers the pci driver and hotplugs the device
    * an IPC attach req is sent to the primary (A)
      * (A) ignores the -EEXIST from process-local probe
      * (A) propagates the request to all secondary processes
        * (B) responds with -EEXIST
      * (A) replies to the original request with the -EEXIST
        return code
    * the -EEXIST is returned back to the user, although the
      device was successfully attached both locally and in
      all other processes

This patch makes the primary process reply with rc=0 even if
there was another secondary process with the device already
attached. The primary process already didn't reply with -EEXIST
when the device was attached locally, so now this behavior is
even more consistent. Looking by the code, this seems to be the
originally intended behavior.
