> The PMD destroy function was calling the release function, which frees
> cryptodev->data, and then tries to free cryptodev->data->dev_private,
> which causes the heap use after free issue.
>
> A temporary pointer is set before the free of cryptodev->data,
> which can then be used afterwards to free dev_private.
> The free cannot be moved to before the release function is called,
> as dev_private is used in the QAT close function while being released.

Can we rename this pointer as dev_private?
