[PATCH] ethdev: allow using devices with shortened PCI addresses

When using a secondary process, e.g. pdump, not all PCI devices will be
probed correctly if the primary process has allowlisted devices using
the shortened syntax, omitting the initial "0000:" domain. This is due
to the strcmp failing to match a full address with a shortened one.

Fix this issue by comparing the device names/addresses normally and then
having a special case second comparison for devices which start with
"0000:".
