[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 10/10] net/ring: fix dev handle in eth_dev

[Gaetan Rivet <gaetan.rivet@6wind.com>]

The ring PMD uses special eth_dev allocators, which cannot be updated to
accept an rte_vdev_device.
Circumvent the limitation and store the rte_device handle in the
rte_eth_dev structure.

Fixes: 050fe6e9ff97 ("drivers/net: use ethdev allocation helper for
vdev")
