[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/4] virtio: check if any kernel driver is manipulating the device

virtio PMD could use IO port to configure the virtio device without
using uio driver.

There are two issues with previous implementation:
1) virtio PMD will take over each virtio device blindly even if some
are not intended for DPDK.
2) driver conflict between virtio PMD and virtio-net kernel driver.

This patch checks if there is any kernel driver manipulating the virtio
device before virtio PMD uses IO port to configure the device.

Fixes: da978dfdc43b ("virtio: use port IO to get PCI resource")
