[dpdk-stable] [EXT] [PATCH] crypto: fix heap use after free bug

[Akhil Goyal]

> Fixed title
> Cryptodev: fix heap use after free
> > > The PMD destroy function was calling the release function, which frees
> > > cryptodev->data, and then tries to free cryptodev->data->dev_private,
> > > which causes the heap use after free issue.
> > >
> > > A temporary pointer is set before the free of cryptodev->data,
> > > which can then be used afterwards to free dev_private.
> > > The free cannot be moved to before the release function is called,
> > > as dev_private is used in the QAT close function while being released.
> I believe all PMDs use dev_private for close.
> Hence replaces QAT with PMD
> > >
> > > Fixes: 9e6edea41805 ("cryptodev: add APIs to assist PMD initialisation")
