Set RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE upon probe so all the private
resources for the port can be freed by rte_eth_dev_close().

Please next time, use --cc-cmd devtools/get-maintainer.sh
so you will send it to Keith (Cc'ed) for review.

The line above can be removed because mac_addrs is not freed
in secondary process, and it is redundant with tap_dev_close().

There is an inconsistency in secondary process
if tap_dev_close() is not called from .remove (unplug)
but can be called from .dev_close (rte_eth_dev_close).

I think the process type check must be done inside tap_dev_close(),
so the process private resources can be freed.

This blank line can be removed in my opinion.

As you may notice, I have included a slightly modified version
of this patch in my series in order to cover the full picture:
	https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/77566/

Feel free to continue improving your patch in this thread or the other,
as you prefer, as long as the secondary process issue is adressed.

Thanks

Why this check is required?

When user first call 'close()' and later call 'remove()' the tap PMD, in this case,
the tap_dev_close() will be called twice. The second call of tap_dev_close()
shouldn't do any process, we can use this check to return immediately.

Thanks,
Yunjian

When first call is 'close()', it memset the 'eth_dev->data', so the in 
the later 'remove()' call, 'rte_eth_dev_allocated()' will always return 
NULL and 'remove()' will exit without calling 'close()'.

Also multiple 'close()' calls look safe, because of 
'RTE_ETH_VALID_PORTID_OR_RET()' checks is 'rte_eth_dev_close()'.

So, as far as I can see this additional check is not needed, but please 
double check.

I have checked, you're right. This additional check is not needed.
I will remove it in V2.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have fixed it in v2.
