eth_dev_ops structure are not exported, so there is no symbol that is actually
changing here. The type definition _only_ will be in DPDK 20.11 public headers,
but is removed in DPDK 21.02.
I find it a little strange that libabigail is baulking when the type is changed
(see 1fe3eef5e9b) but not when it is entirely removed?
