[RFC 00/11] Fix dev_ops dereferences

[Stephen Hemminger]

A common pattern in DPDK internals is to have an array of function
pointers. When using these pointers an unnecessary derefence is done;
this is allowed in C because of a historical quirk but unnecessary.

The PVS Studio checker flags these as:
 https://pvs-studio.com/en/docs/warnings/v516/

This leads to a large number of warnings marked as High severity.
This patchset simplifies the source and gets rid of these warnings.

It should have no impact on the resulting binary.
