To me it is not an ABI breakage only fixing the routine to return the correct
status.

For the no key found surely seems like an error to me, but I guess you can
always require someone to call the rte_kvargs_count() API first which is not
stated any place.
As for the kvlist being null that is an error IMO and returning success is not
valid.
But to save a huge discussion I rejected the patch in patchwork for now.
