[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 4/8] net/netvsc: fix invalid rte_free on dev_close

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

The netvsc PMD was putting the mac address in private data but the
core rte_ethdev doesn't allow that it. It has to be in rte_malloc'd
memory or the a message will be printed on shutdown/close.
 EAL: Invalid memory

Fixes: f8279f47dd89 ("net/netvsc: fix crash in secondary process")
