[PATCH v2 00/14] Remove unnecessary function pointer deref

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

A common pattern in DPDK internals is to have an array of function
pointers. When using these pointers an unnecessary derefence is done;
this is allowed in C because of a historical quirk but unnecessary.

This fixes all instances of PVS Studio checker warning:
 https://pvs-studio.com/en/docs/warnings/v516/

This leads to a large number of warnings marked as High severity.
This patchset simplifies the source and gets rid of these warnings.
