Currently, vhost PMD doesn't have linkage for librte_vhost, even though
it depends on librte_vhost APIs. This causes a linkage error if below
conditions are fulfilled.
- DPDK libraries are compiled as shared libraries.
- DPDK application doesn't link librte_vhost.
- Above application tries to link vhost PMD using '-d' DPDK option.
The patch adds linkage for librte_vhost to vhost PMD not to cause an
above error.

If the vhost PMD were configured with more queues than the guest, the old
code would segfault in rte_vhost_enable_guest_notification due to a NULL
virtqueue pointer.

After some testing, it was found that retrieving numa information
about a vhost device via a call to get_mempolicy is more
accurate when performed during the new_device callback versus
the vring_state_changed callback, in particular upon initial boot
of the VM. Performing this check during new_device is also
potentially more efficient as this callback is only triggered once
during device initialisation, compared with vring_state_changed
which may be called multiple times depending on the number of
queues assigned to the device.
Reorganise the code to perform this check and assign the correct
socket_id to the device during the new_device callback.

Currently, the maximum value of rx/tx queues are kept by EAL. But,
the value is used like below with different meanings in vhost PMD.
- The maximum value of current enabled queues.
- The maximum value of current supported queues.
This wrong double meaning will cause an issue like below steps.
* Invoke application with below option.
--vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=<socket path>,queues=4'
* Configure queues like below.
rte_eth_dev_configure(portid, 2, 2, ...);
* Configure queues again like below.
rte_eth_dev_configure(portid, 4, 4, ...);
The second rte_eth_dev_configure() will fail because both
the maximum value of current enabled queues and supported queues
will be '2' after calling first rte_eth_dev_configure().
To fix the issue, the patch adds another variable to keep the maximum
number of supported queues in vhost PMD.

The patch introduces a new PMD. This PMD is implemented as thin wrapper
of librte_vhost. It means librte_vhost is also needed to compile the PMD.
The vhost messages will be handled only when a port is started. So start
a port first, then invoke QEMU.
The PMD has 2 parameters.
- iface: The parameter is used to specify a path to connect to a
virtio-net device.
- queues: The parameter is used to specify the number of the queues
virtio-net device has.
(Default: 1)
Here is an example.
$ ./testpmd -c f -n 4 --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/sock0,queues=1' -- -i
To connect above testpmd, here is qemu command example.
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
<snip>
-chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/sock0 \
-netdev vhost-user,id=net0,chardev=chr0,vhostforce,queues=1 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mq=on
