[PATCH 2/3] net/nfp: fix representor creation failed

From: Long Wu <long.wu at corigine.com>

The former logic does not consider the simultaneous initialization of
several NICs using flower firmware. The reason the initialization
failed was because several NICs use the same name parameter when we
call rte_eth_dev_create().

We use the PCI address to give each NIC a unique name parameter and let
the initializtion succeed.

Fixes: e1124c4f8a45 ("net/nfp: add flower representor framework")
