Patch subject says fix multiprocess support in stat, but it seems doing
more than just for stats fix.

Overall eliminates private_data->eht_dev link.

I guess this is because eth_dev->data is shared for primary and
secondary processes, and this makes impossible to use separate
private_data for primary and secondaries.

So this patch looks like keeping separate copy of private_data (nic) and
using eth_dev and nic structs for functions instead of using
eth_dev->data->private_data.

If above correct, can you please updated patch subject?

Also another approach can be allocating "data" independently and
overwrite eth_dev->data with this per each process, this also makes
eth_dev->data->private_data usable for each process.
