[PATCH 2/5] eal: fix multiprocess hotplug race

[Artemy Kovalyov]

There exists a time gap between the creation of the multiprocess channel
and the registration of request action handlers. Within this window, a
secondary process that receives an eal_dev_mp_request broadcast
notification might respond with ENOTSUP. This, in turn, causes the
rte_dev_probe() operation to fail in another secondary process.
To avoid this, disregarding ENOTSUP responses to attach notifications.
