[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] dev: fix virtual dev attach

[Gaetan Rivet <gaetan.rivet@6wind.com>]

Checking against error values returned by rte_eal_hotplug_add is
inelegant and prone to mistakes. Additionally, the failed PCI probe
prints a useless error that would throw off unsuspecting users.

Use the relevant functions to infer the intended bus. The limitation to
PCI or vdev device is kept for strict API compatibility.

Fixes: 1c35f666df07 ("dev: fix attach proceeding with vdev on PCI
success")

Signed-off-by: Gaetan Rivet <gaetan.rivet@6wind.com>

v2:

  - Avoid the PCI parsing error when attaching a vdev.
