net/vdev_netvsc: remove specified devices IP check
If the netvsc driver starts in blacklist mode, it does not automatically probe IP associated netvsc devices. Therefore, the only way to probe them is to specify them by the EAL command line, using the "force" parameter to skip the IP check in the driver. >From now on, the user does not need to add the "force" parameter if he specifies an IP associated netvsc device by the EAL command line, and the responsibility of the IP check is now in the user's hands. However, in the absence of any specification, the driver still skips IP associated netvsc devices. Cc: stable@dpdk.org Signed-off-by: Matan Azrad <matan@mellanox.com>
