[PATCH 2/2] ethdev: fix race condition in fast-path ops setup

If ethdev enqueue or dequeue function is called during
eth_dev_fp_ops_setup(), it may get pre-empted after setting
the function pointers, but before setting the pointer to port data.
In this case the newly registered enqueue/dequeue function will use
dummy port data and end up in seg fault.

This patch moves the updation of each data pointers before updating
corresponding function pointers.
