[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/virtio-user: fix multi-process issue

[Ami Sabo <amis@radware.com>]

Secondary process doesn't properly attach to the rte_eth_device
initialized by the primary process.

Accessing device from secondary process (e.g. via rte_eth_rx_burst),
causes process to crash. because rte_eth_dev_data is not properly set.

The issue was flood by commit 7f95f78a8aea6161b824288bdeb1265798adca29
(clear data when allocating device), which now clears rte_eth_dev_data
entry.
So, most of the rte_eth_dev_data fields are not initialized.
For pci devices these fields are initialized  by rte_eth_dev_pci_probe
->eth_dev_attach_secondary().
However, for virtio-user virtio_user_pmd_probe() is called instead of
rte_eth_dev_pci_probe().
To fix it:  Allow non-pci drivers call to dev_attach_secondary() and
call it (for secondary process) from virtio_user_pmd_probe.
