[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx4: use PCI address as port name

It is suggested to use PCI BDF to identify a port for port addition
in OVS-DPDK. While mlx5 has its own naming style: name it by ib dev
name. This breaks the typical OVS DPDK use case and brings more puzzle
to the end users.

To fix it, this patch changes it to use PCI BDF as the name, too.
Judging the fact that there are 2 ports associated with one PCI for
ConnectX-3, a postfix is needed. Thus, the final name looks like
something below:

    0000:04:00.0-port0
    0000:04:00.0-port1
