In secondary process, rte_eth_dev_close() doesn't clear eth_dev->data.
If calling rte_dev_remove() after rte_eth_dev_close(), in
rte_eth_dev_pci_generic_remove() function, the released eth device still
can be found by its name in shared memory. As a result, the eth device
will be released repeatedly. The state of the eth device is modified to
RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED after rte_eth_dev_close(). So this state can be used
to avoid this problem.
