[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] crypto/octeontx: fix heap use after free

[Akhil Goyal]

When the PMD is removed, rte_cryptodev_pmd_release_device
is called which frees cryptodev->data, and then tries to free
cryptodev->data->dev_private, which causes the heap use
after free issue.

A temporary pointer is set before the free of cryptodev->data,
which can then be used afterwards to free dev_private.
