This patch should not be necessary.

Ideally, your API evolution should not impact the default case. As such,
the default iterator RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV should still be used in
testpmd.

RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV should call RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV_OWNED_BY, with the
default owner (meaning that it would thus iterate on the
application-owned set of device).

This new API should avoid breaking the current code as much as possible.
