There is time between the sub-device port probing by the sub-device PMD
to the sub-device port ownership taking by a fail-safe port.
In this time, the port is available for the application usage. For
example, the port will be exposed to the applications which use
RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV iterator.
Thus, ownership unaware applications may manage the port in this time
what may cause a lot of problematic behaviors in the fail-safe
sub-device initialization.
Register to the ethdev NEW event to take the sub-device port ownership
before it becomes exposed to the application.
