rte_bus_probe() doesn't return error. As a result rte_eal_init()
doesn't catch this error and thus making dpdk initialization
successful despite probe failing for devices.

This patch returns error if probe fails for any of device.

If we return an error here, won't this fail to probe vbus?  In fact,
this will disrupt all subsequent bus probes, yes?

Why should a single bus problem be a 'cannot init' level failure?
