[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] drivers/net/pcap: fix segfault in pcap pmd

[Reshma Pattan <reshma.pattan@intel.com>]

Testpmd application will crash in fclose() upon quit after running
the below command.

"sudo gdb --args ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0xf0 -n 4 --vdev
'eth_pcap0,tx_iface=enp1s0f1,rx_pcap=/tmp/test.pcap' -- --port-topology=chained -i"

The reason is, pcap vdev creation with tx stream type as "iface" as in above
command dont need member ''dumpers'' of "struct tx_pcaps", hence will not have
memory allocated. But contains a garbage values, as local object of struct tx_pcaps
is not initialized to 0 inside rte_pmd_pcap_dev_init(). So calling pcap_dump_close() on
dumper as part of eth_dev_stop() is causing segfault in fclose().

Fix is to initilize local object of struct tx_pcaps to 0.
Also initiliaze local object of stcruct rx_pcaps to 0.

So during eth_dev_stop(), pcap_dump_close() will not be called if dumper is NULL.

Fixes:4c173302("pcap: add new driver")
