vhost: fix kernel module insertion
Problem:if I firstly insert my kmod_test.ko, then insert eventfd_link.ko, error will happen with hint "Device or resource busy". This is because the default minor device number, 0, has been occupied by my kmod_test.ko . root@distro:~/test$ lsmod Module Size Used by kmod_test 927 0 vboxsf 35930 4 vboxguest 222130 1 vboxsf microcode 10315 0 autofs4 25051 0 root@distro:~/test$ insmod ./eventfd_link.ko insmod: ERROR: could not insert module ./eventfd_link.ko: Device or resource busy Explanation: For miscdevices, the major device_no is same, so the minor device_no should be set to ditinguish different misc devices; if not set the minor, it may fail while insmod due to the default minor value, 0, has been used by other miscdevice. MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR means to let Linux kernel dynamically assign one minor devide number while loading.
