This will make the test in test_pie.c fail.
The concept of passing NULL to the routine and expecting allocation
is bad idea because the allocated structure is never initialized.
Since rte_pie_rt_data_init(NULL) always returned -1.
It would make more sense to take out the rte_malloc().
And document it.
P.s: the routing should return a negative rte_errno instead of -1
as well.
