[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 17/54] ethdev: change device info get callback to return int

[Andrew Rybchenko <arybchenko@solarflare.com>]

From: Ivan Ilchenko <Ivan.Ilchenko@oktetlabs.ru>

Change eth_dev_infos_get_t return value from void to int.
Make eth_dev_infos_get_t implementations across all drivers to return
negative errno values if case of error conditions.

v3:
 - fix callback patch to take callback return value into account
