[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ethdev: improve doc for name by port ID API

[Andrew Rybchenko]

From: Ivan Malov <ivan.malov at oktetlabs.ru>

Description of rte_eth_dev_get_name_by_port() calls
port ID argument a pointer, which is misleading.
Also, output buffer minimal size is not mentioned.
These points need to be improved.

Fixes: bde516d5a85a ("ethdev: get port by name")
