[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] app/testpmd: fix forwarding between non consecutive ports

When defining two failsafe devices in testpmd the port numbers of the
failsafe devices may not be consecutive.
For example: if failsafe device includes a PCI device and a TAP device
then failsafe port numbers would be 0 and 3.
Port 0 - failsafe #1 device
Port 1 - PCI #1 device
Port 2 - TAP #1 device
Port 3 - failsafe #2 device
Port 4 - PCI #2 device
Port 5 - TAP #2 device

If forwarding is defined between the failsafe devices including a peer
address the forwarding should be between peer addresses of ports 0
and 3. Instead testpmd establishes forwarding between peer addresses
of consecutive ports 0 and 1. This commit fixes this bug.
