[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eventdev: fix eventdev start return value

[Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>]

From: Pavan Nikhilesh Bhagavatula <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>

If eventdev has already started it should return -EBUSY instead of 0
when rte_event_dev_start is called.

Fixes: 4f0804bbdfb9 ("eventdev: implement the northbound APIs")
