[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/9] rawdev: allow devices to skip extra memory allocation

[Bruce Richardson]

Some device drivers want to allocate their own private memory, and should
be allowed to do so. Therefore skip memory allocation and associated error
checks if zero-length private memory is requested.

While adjusting the code for new indent level, fix incorrect error
message.
