[PATCH v3 0/3] Release ethdev shared memory on port cleanup

[David Marchand]

This series was triggered after investigating why the
eal_flags_file_prefix_autotest unit test was failing in the case of
statically built binaries [1]).

For now, I went with a simple (naive) approach and put all accesses to the
shared data under a single lock: ethdev maintainers, it is your turn to
shine and give me reasons why we should keep the locks the way they
were ;-).
And let's see what the CI reports...
