Remove device reset during application start, the reset for
application exit still there.
Reset in open removed because of following comments:
1- Device reset not completed when VF driver loaded, which cause VF PMD
initialization error.
Adding delay can solve the issue but will increase driver load time.
2- Reset will be issues all devices unconditionally, not very efficient
way.

Hi Jingjing, Shijith, Gregory, Harish,
Can you please test this on top of current master (which has already Jingjin's
fix) ?
The original FLR change during igb_uio open()/release() in DPDK17.08 also
impacts BNX2X PMD and it exhibits the issues with bare metal testing.
Now, we tested this change for BNX2X PMD using latest dpdk, which has this fix where FLR is invoked only in the release(). However, we ran into an issue when trying to reload the testpmd application in quick succession. The pci reset, called during the igb_uio release() operation, is taking longer time and adapter is still doing the FLR when we relaunch the application. We see this behavior with bare metal testing.
If we don't reset that device, it will continue working which is a more
serious issue IMO.
How long does it take to reset BTW?
Thanks,
Jianfeng
