[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] eal/linux: fix multi-process cannot work

[Jianfeng Tan <jianfeng.tan@intel.com>]

When binding with vfio-pci, secondary process cannot be started with
an error message:

    cannot find TAILQ entry for PCI device.

It's due to: struct rte_pci_addr is padded with 1 byte for alignment
by compiler. Then below comparison in commit 2f4adfad0a69
("vfio: add multiprocess support") will fail if the last byte is not
initialized.

    memcmp(&vfio_res->pci_addr, &dev->addr, sizeof(dev->addr)

And commit cdc242f260e7 ("eal/linux: support running as unprivileged user")
just triggers this bug by using a stack un-initialized variable.

The fix is to use rte_eal_compare_pci_addr() for pci addr comparison.

Fixes: 2f4adfad0a69 ("vfio: add multiprocess support")
Fixes: cdc242f260e7 ("eal/linux: support running as unprivileged user")
