[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix failsafe PMD failure on exit

vdevs detach on testpmd exit implemented as workaround to fix
a virtio-user issue. The issue was virtio-user cleanup is not
called and existing socket file not cleaned up which will fail
next run.

The vdev cleanup causing problems in failsafe PMD.

Reduce the cleanup to only virtio-user and add a comment that this
workaround should be converted to a proper cleanup, not something
specific to virtio-user, and not something specific to vdev and
testpmd.

Fixes: fe890955114d ("app/testpmd: fix exit for vdevs")
