[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] app/testpmd: fix hot-unplug detaching

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

There is a possible race condition in the hotplug path
in rmv_port_callback(). If a port is created between
close_port(port_id) and detach_port_device(port_id),
then the port_id will have been reallocated to a different
device which will be wrongly detached.

Since a check was added in detach_port_device() for
manual detach case, the hotplug path was even more broken.
It became impossible to run because the new check prevented
to run detach_port_device() after the port is closed.

The solution for both issues is to not rely on the port_id
for detaching the rte_device.
The function detach_port_device() is split to allow calling
detach_device() directly with the rte_device pointer, saved
before closing the port.
