devargs: fix policy check when adding arguments

Do not fail upon detecting a set bus configuration when adding an
rte_devargs. i.e. adding a blacklisted PCI device while the bus is
configured in whitelist mode.

This failure condition has been introduced when the bus policies
were implemented. This implementation however was meant to strictly
follow the existing API. This check was not and should not be performed
until the current API has been properly deprecated.

The same kind of check is already done when parsing EAL options.
