As per the current code we have API for bus probe, but the
bus close API is missing. This breaks the multi process
scenarios as objects are not cleaned while terminating the
secondary processes.
This patch adds a new API rte_bus_close() for cleanup of
bus objects which were acquired during probe.

Can you please put more comments to clarify what does "closing devices
on bus" mean, what is the responsibility of that function, what is the
expected state after that function, etc ?
Since 'pci' & 'vdev' bus implementations are missing, this comment
should help them to clarify what exactly needs to be implemented for
those buses.
