[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] net/nfp: fix dangling pointer on failure

[wangyunjian]

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian at huawei.com>

When nfp_pf_create_dev() is cleaning up, it does not correctly set
the dev_private variable to NULL, which will lead to a double free.

Fixes: ef28aa96e53b ("net/nfp: support multiprocess")
