Thanks Xiaoyun and Ferruh for the comments!
I tried to update the code as suggested but may get "Invalid Memory"
warning when quit the testpmd. I found it was caused at the function
rte_eth_dev_release_port with " rte_free(eth_dev->data->mac_addrs); ".
Seems that allocating memory for 'eth_dev->data->mac_addrs' is still
needed. Please help correct me if I misunderstood this. Thanks! I'll keep
this part unchanged for the coming patchset first.

Yes, we have already tried to move all the unused items to the corresponding
stages patch by patch. Thanks for reminding this!
