[PATCH 1/2] eventdev: fix race condition in fast-path set function

If eventdev enqueue or dequeue function is called during
event_dev_fp_ops_set(), 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 data element to the beginning of
event_dev_fp_ops_set() function.

Fixes: d35e61322de5 ("eventdev: move inline APIs into separate structure")
