By making it as blocking(i.e the rte_event_port_unlink() returns when
unlink() completed) forcing everyone to care about unlink completion.

If I understand it correctly, Your current issue is, SW driver is
not waiting for to complete the unlink() operation so that in your application you are
seeing some abnormalities.

Let assume even if it is called in fastpath, what else, we can really do
other that calling rte_pause() in loop. realistically? after issuing
unlink() operation.
