When blacklisting network adapters that share a PCI bus address with multiple
ports such as Mellanox ConnectX-3 (librte_pmd_mlx4), RTE applications
enter infinite loops while probing PCI devices.
This commit removes this probe on subsequent instances for blacklisted devices
that have RTE_PCI_DRV_MULTIPLE set.

Need to change PCI code to support multiple I/O regions on a single device.
Some devices like VMXNET3 have multiple PCI memory regions, and some
have none.

Drivers with the flag RTE_PCI_DRV_MULTIPLE enabled will be bound several
times to the same device until they return an error.
These drivers must internally keep track of each device state in order for
this to work reliably.
This flag currently required for Ethernet adapters with several physical
ports but a single address on the PCI bus.

Add a driver reference (if available) to every PCI devices,
even when blacklisted. This information is made available in the global
device_list variable so users know which network devices are managed or
ignored.
