First, such re-ordering wouldn't really fix that race condition.
Second, eth_dev_fp_ops_setup() supposed to be called only by dev/queue start/stop functions.
With current DPDK design it is not allowed to simultaneously call dev start/stop
and data-path RX/TX functions and it is user responsibility to ensure that.
In other words - it is user responsibility to ensure that such race condition would
not happen.
So, NACK.
