The PMD destroy function was calling the release function, which frees
cryptodev->data, and then tries to free cryptodev->data->dev_private,
which causes the heap use after free issue.
A temporary pointer is set before the free of cryptodev->data,
which can then be used afterwards to free dev_private.
The free cannot be moved to before the release function is called,
as dev_private is used in the PMD close function while being released.
