[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] bus/vdev: reduce scope of device list lock

[Thomas Monjalon]

The lock vdev_device_list_lock was taken before calling
"remove" function for the device.
So it prevents to remove sub-devices (as in failsafe) inside
its own "remove" function, because of a deadlock.

The lock is now only protecting the device list inside
the bus driver.

Fixes: 35f462839b69 ("bus/vdev: add lock on device list")
