[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] dev: don't try to rollback a device attach that failed

[Darek Stojaczyk]

If a device fails to attach before it's plugged,
the subsequent rollback will still try to detach it,
causing a segfault. Unplugging a device that wasn't
plugged isn't really supported, so this patch adds
an extra error check to prevent that from happening.

While here, fix this also for normal (non-rollback)
detach, which could also theoretically segfault on
non-plugged device.
