This change is to make user code simpler. For PMDs which do not fill any
packet types, return 0 instead of -ENOTSUP as suggested by Bruce.
Usually, users only care if the required (by ptype_mask) ptypes can be
filled by the specified PMD. If the PMD implements dev_supported_ptypes_get
func is not important. And the introduce of another return value (-ENOTSUP)
would increase the complexity of user programs to check it.
Besides, there are ways to know if a PMD implements the func:
a. see doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.
b. use (~1) as parameter ptype_mask, then check if return 0.
