[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] net/failsafe: fix freeing after device release

[Yunjian Wang]

The PMD destroy function was calling the release function, which frees
dev->data->dev_private, and then tries to free PRIV(dev)->intr_handle,
which causes the heap use after free issue.

The free can be moved to before the release function is called.

Fixes: d61138d4f0e ("drivers: remove direct access to interrupt handle")
