Thanks for the comment!

Yes, it is exactly what this patch did.

The interrupt disabling process is part of 'dev_close' ops, and will be
called twice (one in EAL cleanup, another in ntb example cleanup).

Now that fixed & covered by the EAL cleanup, there is no need to
run dev_close at ntb example. Just remove that redundant logic.
