[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/softnic: fix memory illegal access

[Jasvinder Singh]

While deleting the elements from the linked list, TAILQ_FOREACH causes
read from the freed pointer. Fixes the issue by using TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE
instead.

Coverity issue: 302867
Fixes: bef50bcb1c47 ("net/softnic: implement start and stop")
