[dpdk-dev] [RFC 1/9] devargs: fix data buffer storage type

[Xueming Li]

The data field fo struct devargs is used as data scratch buffer, not a
const, remove.

Also fixes references to data field of struct devargs.

Fixes: 338327d731e6 ("devargs: add function to parse device layers")
Fixes: c99a2d4c6b7f ("eal: implement device iteration initialization")
