[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 2/6] app/testpmd: allow detaching a port not closed

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

The testpmd application aim is for testing;
so order of operations should not be enforced.

There was a test to forbid detaching before closing a port.
However, it may interesting to test what happens in such case.
It is possible for a PMD to automatically close the port when detaching.

in order to avoid a crash, it is checked that the port must be stopped
before detaching (as for closing).
