Yes, this patch is to release all the resources of ifpga_rawdev after testpmd
exit, the not released resources are interrupt and thread.
rte_rawdev_pmd_release implemented in ifpga_rawdev only release memory
allocated by ifpga driver, that's the expected behavior.
I think it's a simple and safe way to release resources completely by calling
rte_dev_remove.
