[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] bus/pci: fix TOCTOU issue

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

Using access followed by open causes a static analysis warning
about Time of check versus Time of use. Also, access() and
open() have different UID permission checks.

This is not a serious problem; but easy to fix by using errno instead.

Coverity issue: 300870
Fixes: 4a928ef9f611 ("bus/pci: enable write combining during mapping")
