Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: fix storage type of latest port id

[ upstream commit 4462814d850fadcbdbbadb324d125aefbb83a2b8 ]

eth_dev_last_created_port is used to store port id type and should
be extended to 16bits corresponding to ethdev port id range.

Fixes: f8244c6399d9 ("ethdev: increase port id range")
