Currently device state moves between ATTACHED when device was successfully probed to UNUSED when device is detached or released.
The device state following rte_eth_dev_close() operation is inconsist, The device is still in ATTACHED state, however it cannot be used in any way till it will be probed again. Fixing it by changing the state to UNUSED.
