ethdev: add field for device data per process

Primary and secondary processes share a per-device private data. With
current design it is not possible to have data per-device per-process.
This is required for handling properly the CPP interface inside the NFP
PMD with multiprocess support.

There is also at least another PMD driver, tap, with similar
requirements for per-process device data.
