The dpdk_nic_bind script will not allow ports to be bound or unbound if none of the
kernel modules supported by DPDK is loaded. This patch relaxes this restriction by
checking if a DPDK module is actually requested. The example below illustrates this
problem:
In virtio test, on the guest
1. Bind virtio port to igb_uio driver;
2. Remove igb_uio module;
3. Bind virtio port to virtio-pci driver, it fails and reports:
"Error - no supported modules are loaded"
The script should check the to-be-bound driver flag, if it is dpdk driver(igb_uio, vfio etc),
and the corresponding module is not loaded, then exit, otherwise, just report a warning,
and continue to bind the non-dpdk driver(like virtio-pci) to dev.

Allow the nic bind/unbind script to print out its status messages even
if the igb_uio driver is not loaded. For binding and unbinding NICs, the
behaviour is the same, and the igb_uio driver still needs to be loaded.

When binding devices to a generic driver (i.e. one that doesn't have a
PCI ID table, some devices that are not bound to any other driver could
be bound even if no one has asked them to. hence, we check the list of
drivers again, and see if some of the previously-unbound devices were
erroneously bound. if such devices are found, they are unbound back.
