[dpdk-dev] [RFC V1] ethdev: fix the issue that dev uninit may be called twice

[Huisong Li]

Ethernet devices in DPDK can be released by rte_eth_dev_close() and
rte_dev_remove(). However, these two APIs do not have explicit invocation
restrictions. In other words, at the ethdev layer, calling
rte_eth_dev_close() and then rte_dev_remove() or rte_eal_hotplug_remove()
is allowed. In such a bad scenario, the primary process may be fine, but it
may cause that dev_unint() in the secondary process will be called twice,
and even other serious problems. So this patch fixes it.

Fixes: 99a2dd955fba ("lib: remove librte_ prefix from directory names")
