[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/af_xdp: do not attempt probe for secondary processes

[Ciara Loftus]

Since the AF_XDP PMD does not work for secondary processes as reported
in Bugzilla 805, check for the process type at the beginning of probe
and return ENOTSUP if the process type is secondary.

Bugzilla ID: 805
Fixes: f1debd77efaf ("net/af_xdp: introduce AF_XDP PMD")
