[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 01/21] eventdev: improve API docs for start function

This commit documents two error return values for the
rte_event_dev_start() function.

-EINVAL  indicates not all ports are configured
-EDEADLK indicates that not all queues are linked to ports. If an
         application enqueues to such a queue it can lead to deadlock
