It's not necessary to insert device argment to devargs_list
during bus scan, but this happens when we try to attach a
device on secondary process. The patch fix the issue.

Why is vdev the only bus not using hotplug API itself and reimplementing
it on its own?
It should not have to insert devargs at all, not even in the primary
process. If it called rte_dev_probe(), this would normally already be
properly handled I think.

I don't know the history,
but replace insert_vdev with hotplug API will not solve all the problem (see my below comments)

Currently insert_vdev is shared by two scenarios
1. rte_vdev_init, which is called by application to attach a new device, I agree it's better to have rte_dev_probe here so, no need to have insert_vdev here.
2. during secondary's vdev->scan when it receive a SCAN_ONE event from primary, it should not call rte_devargs_insert,
The patch is going to fix the issue on secondary scenario and we can do the cleanup for first issue in a separate patch

In 2., won't dev_probe() check for secondary process context and in this
case, send the request to primary, which will see that the device is
already probed, which would thus fix your issue?
My take on it is that it seems to be fixing both your issue and cleaning
up history.

No, It's not the case that we issue a device attaching from secondary, but the case that we try to sync with primary for a device already be attached
So we are in the context of dev->scan, we should not do dev_probe in dev->scan, since dev_probe will call dev->scan again, then it go dead loop.
