[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v1 4/7] devargs: fix buffer data memory leak

[Xueming Li <xuemingl@nvidia.com>]

Struct rte_devargs data buffer was changed from args to data field, not
all references were changed accordingly, memory leak happened when
releasing devargs.

Free data field of devargs struct.

Fixes: 338327d731e6 ("devargs: add function to parse device layers")
