[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 11/11] ethdev: change stop device callback to return int

[Andrew Rybchenko <arybchenko@solarflare.com>]

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

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