  In function eth_virtio_dev_init(), dynamic memory stored
in "eth_dev->data->mac_addrs" variable and it is not freed
when function return,
this is a possible memory leak.

Fixes: 8ced1542f7a3 ("net/virtio: eth_dev->data->mac_addrs is not freed")

BTW, I have just seen you have send multiple versions out regarding this
patch. Next time please tag your patches with version, something like:

    $ git format-patch -v 2 ...
