virtio PMD could use IO port to configure the virtio device without
using UIO/VFIO driver in legacy mode.
There are two issues with previous implementation:
1) virtio PMD will take over the virtio device(s) blindly even if not
intended for DPDK.
2) driver conflict between virtio PMD and virtio-net kernel driver.
This patch checks if there is kernel driver other than UIO/VFIO managing
the virtio device before using port IO.
If legacy_virtio_resource_init fails and kernel driver other than
VFIO/UIO is managing the device, return 1 to tell the upper layer we
don't take over this device.
For all other IO port mapping errors, return -1.
Note than if VFIO/UIO fails, now we don't fall back to port IO.
