This patch reverts commit f5b2eff0847d ("bus/vdev: fix devargs after multi-process bus scan")
With current code, we do not add devargs to devargs list when we add a vdev in secondary process (because `init` flag is set to `false`). Because of this, when we do vdev_uninit, we call rte_devargs_remove on the &devargs pointer (the one we didn't add to devargs list but did save inside rte_vdev_device struct), but in secondary process, because devargs were not added to the list in the first place, devargs_remove does not find the associated devargs in its list and therefore does not free associated resources. As a result, we get a memory leak, because we free the rte_vdev_device but not its associated devargs. Revert this patch to avoid leaking devargs on vdev uninit.
