Don't define a macro with the RTE_PCI_ namespace in a driver.

Either this is really specific to IDPF, and this should be renamed
with a prefix reflecting this.
This macro is a huge wildcard on a pci class, which seems very specific.

Or this makes sense for other drivers and then this macro should be
moved to the pci bus driver header.
