[PATCH v1 4/8] vfio: do not setup the device on get device info

Currently, if `rte_vfio_get_device_info` is called with fd == 0, the device
will be automatically set up. This seems like a counter-intuitive function,
and the only purpose for it seems to be code golf, and the only user for it
only calls rte_vfio_get_device_info when fd is in fact zero, meaning they
could've just called device setup instead of calling device info.
Decouple device info function from device setup, change its API, and adjust
all usages of this API.
