[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] test: Fix memory corruption issues which fails the link_bonding test.

[Herbert Guan]

It's caused by some recent merges.  Applying this patch to 17.05 is okay.  I've identified the place of segfault, but there're still some other problems to this test case.

Thanks,
Herbert

Updated unit test causing segfault, before and after patch, am I doing something wrong?

I will postpone this patch until unit test can be verified.
