devarg parser rte_devargs_layers_parse() does not configures

setting devargs->bus_str to NULL before passing it to devarg parser.

It results junk value for bus_str and due to this device

iterator is unable to find device for class type.


Bugzilla ID: 862

Fixes: 9a1a9e4a2ddd (devargs: support path value with global device syntax)
