[PATCH v3 3/3] dma/idxd: fix null pointer dereference during pci remove

The 'info' struct was being declared as a NULL pointer. If a NULL
pointer is passed to 'rte_dma_info_get', EINVAL is returned and the
struct is not populated. This subsequently causes a segfault when
dereferencing 'info'.

This patch fixes the issue by simply declaring 'info' on the stack and
passing its address to 'rte_dma_info_get'.
