[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/7] ethdev: fix port data reset timing

[Thomas Monjalon]

> rte_eth_dev_data structure is allocated per ethdev port and can be
> used to get a data of the port internally.
> 
> rte_eth_dev_attach_secondary tries to find the port identifier using
> rte_eth_dev_data name field comparison and may get an identifier of
> invalid port in case of this port was released by the primary process
> because the port release API doesn't reset the port data.
> 
> So, it will be better to reset the port data in release time instead of
> allocation time.
> 
> Move the port data reset to the port release API.
