[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] ethdev: make flow API primary/secondary process safe

[Thomas Monjalon]

About the title, better to say "multi-process" and do not
commit on being completely safe for the whole API.
It is just fixing the mutex for multi-process,
and this mutex is for driver not being natively multi-thread.

The compilation fails on MinGW:
error: implicit declaration of function ‘pthread_mutexattr_init’

> Posix mutex are not by default safe for protecting for usage
> from multiple processes. The flow ops mutex could be used by
> both primary and secondary processes.
