Testpmd register function eth_event_callback to deal with DESTROY event,
currently it only assign ports[port_id].port_status with RTE_PORT_CLOSED, it
doesn't update other global variables like nb_ports.

The remove_invalid_ports will scan rte_eth_devices[], when process the DESTROY
event, the rte_eth_devices[x] still valid, so here we should a delay logic.
