[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/failsafe: fix tx sub device deactivating

[Matan Azrad]

The corrupted code couldn't recognize that all sub devices
were not ready for tx traffic when failsafe PMD was trying
to switch device because of an unreachable condition using.

Hence, the current tx sub device variable was not updated
correctly.

The fix removed the unreachable branch and added new one
in the right place respecting the original intent.

Fixes: 598fb8aec6f6 ("net/failsafe: support device removal")
