[dpdk-dev] [RFC 1/3] eal/hotplug: allow monitor to be setup by multiple places

[Stephen Hemminger]

In some cases, a device or infrastructure may want to enable hotplug
but application may also try and start hotplug as well. Therefore
change the monitor_started from a boolean into a reference count.
