Fix an silly error by auto-complete while managing the merge conflicts. It's the eth_dev_data (but not eth_dev) entry should be memset.

There were patches sent to fix this.I mean this one: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-January/054422.htmld948f596fee2 ("ethdev: fix port data mismatched in multiple process model") should have fixed it.
Think about case, where secondary process uses a virtual PMD, which does a rte_eth_dev_allocate() call, shouldn't this corrupt primary process device data?
