[PATCH] [PATCH v3] lib/ethdev: fix segfault in secondary process by validating dev_private pointer

[Khadem Ullah <14pwcse1224@uetpeshawar.edu.pk>]

In secondary processes, directly accessing 'dev->data->dev_private' can
cause a segmentation fault if the primary process has exited or if the
shared memory is no longer accessible.

Secondary application not only breaking on device closing,
but also getting segfault when we do "show device info all" from secondary
after primary closes.

This patch adds safety checks while using rte_mem_virt2phy(), with an
unlikely() branch hint to minimize performance impact in the fast path.
This ensures 'dev_private' is still valid before accessing it.
