The patch title should have "net/pcap: " as module name instead of 
"driver/net/pcap: ", suggested title:
net/pcap: fix fd leak on uninit


Also needs fixes line, I guess following can be used:
     Fixes: c956caa6eabf ("pcap: support port hotplug")
     Cc: stable@dpdk.org

Now since 'eth_dev_stop()' can be called multiple times with this change, 
'pcap_close()' is causing a crash when it gets NULL pointer, following check is 
required, can you please send a new version with it?
