Thanks Junxiao, +1 to this fix, cc'ed memif maintainer Jakub.

Is the 'memif_dev_stop()' safe to be called multiple times?
If 'memif_dev_close()' calls 'memif_dev_stop()' (see below), it is possible
to call 'memif_dev_stop()' multiple times, so it should be protected.

Should we add 'memif_dev_stop()' within the close function?
Otherwise we are relying on user to stop, but at least in remove path
('rte_pmd_memif_remove()') that may not be the case.
