[PATCH v2 02/10] net/iavf: permit secondary process Rx path selection

[Ciara Loftus]

Commit 3f59c3d97a89 ("net/iavf: use same Rx path across processes")
changed the way that secondary processes selected their Rx burst
function. Instead of letting secondary processes select their own
function, they now used the function selected by the primary process.
However, the primary process only selects the function at device start,
so if the primary process hadn't started the device by the time the
secondary process was selecting its Rx burst function, the secondary
process would not select the correct function.

This commit addresses this issue by allowing the secondary process to
select the path if the device has not been started yet.
