Re: [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix quit testpmd with vfs and pf

When testpmd startups with pf and vfs,this error occurs when quitting,
results in pf is released before vfs ,so the vf would access an
freed heap memory.

The solution is two steps:
1. Fetch the valid port value from RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV.
2. free the port in reverse order.

This fix looks similar to series: 21823. Please check Ferruh's comments 
on it.

There is a scenario, where this fix may not work.
"if there is an earlier port id which is released, after that new
vf is created taking that port id. In such case port id of vf < pf port id"

This patch covers most of the cases and that way its an improvement.
So I am ok with it.
