Secondary process doesn't properly attach to the rte_eth_device
initialized by the primary process.
Accessing device from secondary process (e.g. via rte_eth_rx_burst),
causes process to crash. because rte_eth_dev_data is not properly set.
The issue was flood by
'commit 7f95f78a8aea ("ethdev: clear data when allocating device")'
which now clears rte_eth_dev_data entry.
So, most of the rte_eth_dev_data fields are not initialized.
For pci devices these fields are initialized by rte_eth_dev_pci_probe
->eth_dev_attach_secondary().
However, for virtio-user virtio_user_pmd_probe() is called instead of
rte_eth_dev_pci_probe().
To fix it: Allow non-pci drivers call to dev_attach_secondary() and
call it (for secondary process) from virtio_user_pmd_probe.
