[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/1] net/mlx5: fix sharing context destroy order

At the mlx5 device closing the shared IB context was destroyed
before cleanup routines completion. As it was found on some
setups (Netlink fails with old kernel drivers and we have to use
sysfs to retrieve interface index, this requires IB device name,
which is stored in shared context) the mlx5_nl_mac_addr_flush()
requires IB device name, and if shared context is removed it
causes the segmentation fault.

Fixes: 17e19bc4dde7 ("net/mlx5: add IB shared context alloc/free functions")
