[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] net/mlx4: fix mem leak when a device configured repeatedly

[wangyunjian]

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian at huawei.com>

Currently, configuring a mlx device, it will allocate its
own process private in mlx5_proc_priv_init() and only frees
it when closing the device. This will lead to a memory leak,
when a device is configured repeatedly.

For example:
for(...)
do
    rte_eth_dev_configure
    rte_eth_rx_queue_setup
    rte_eth_tx_queue_setup
    rte_eth_dev_start
    rte_eth_dev_stop
done
