When the failsafe PMD encounters a hotplug event, it switches its rx/tx
functions to "safe" ones that validate the sub-device's rx/tx functions
before calling them. It switches the rx/tx functions by changing the
function pointers in the rte_eth_dev structure.
Following commit 7a0935239b9e, the rx/tx functions of PMDs are no longer
called through the function pointers in the rte_eth_dev structure. They
are rather called through a flat array named rte_eth_fp_ops. The
function pointers in that array are initialized when the devices start
and are initialized.

When a hotplug event occurs, the function pointers in rte_eth_fp_ops
still point to the "unsafe" rx/tx functions in the failsafe PMD since
they haven't been updated. This results in a segmentation fault because
it ends up using the "unsafe" functions, when the "safe" functions
should have been used.

To fix the problem, the "unsafe" rx/tx functions were completely
removed. The "safe" functions are now always used. Modifying the rx/tx
functions on-the-fly is not supported by DPDK, so this is the correct
approach and should have very minimal impact on performance.

Fixes: 7a0935239b9e ("ethdev: make fast-path functions to use new flat array")
