[dpdk-dev] i40e igb_uio: reset pci on process exit

[Gregory Etelson <gregory@weka.io>]

Hello,

My tests show 
if DPDK process attached to i40e VF through igb_uio 
exists without calling rte_eth_dev_close() 
then new instance attached to that VF could experience IO failures.
I came up with the following patch to ensure igb_uio will always reset PCI on process exit.
However, I would like to hear experts opinion to be sure __pci_reset_function
resets i40e VF properly.

Thank you.
Regards,
Gregory
