[PATCH 4/6] examples/l3fwd-power: accept shared Rx interrupt FD

Some PMDs deliver the Rx interrupts of several queues through a single
shared fd; dpaa2, for instance, uses one QBMan portal per lcore.
Registering the fd a second time then returns -EEXIST, which
event_register() treated as fatal and disabled interrupt mode for the
whole lcore.

Accept -EEXIST as success. NICs with a dedicated fd per queue never
return it, so their behaviour is unchanged.
