[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/ioat: fix unchecked return value

[Ciara Power]

The function call to get the device info can return negative values on
failure, which was previously unchecked. This return value is now
checked and the function exits on failure.

Coverity issue: 350361
Fixes: c8e6ceecebc1 ("examples/ioat: add new sample app for ioat driver")
