[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] usertools: decode PCI device name as UTF-8

[Christos Ricudis]

Fixes the case where a PCI device string identifier contains non-ASCII UTF-8.

A particular example is Mellanox Connext-X 5 EN MT27800:

28:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5]
        Subsystem: Mellanox Technologies ConnectX®-5 EN network interface card, 100GbE single-port QSFP28, PCIe3.0 x16, tall bracket; MCX515A-CCAT
