Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: fix port accessing after release

[ upstream commit f0e1180cb6a99825587ce4c108c4366023ac1f63 ]

rte_eth_dev_pci_release() function wrongly releases an ethdev port and
then releases internal fields of this port.
This behavior is problematic, because after the release, the port may
be reallocated again by another thread or just be invalid for any
usage.

Move the release operation to the end of the function.

Fixes: dcd5c8112bc3 ("ethdev: add PCI driver helpers")
