Normally, each PMD need some priv space.
Even you can also add capabilities in it instead of having global variable.

rte_compressdev_pmd_init_params is internal for PMD-lib interaction and should not be used by app.
For application, rte_compressdev_info should be used and it has that max_nb_queue_pairs.
