This reverts commit 394313fff3.
While the patch did solve concurrency issue, it induces more
pages copies as some clean pages are marked as dirty for
performance reasons. Moreover, as there is no more contention
doing the logging, the rate of packets than can be processed is
higher, leading to even more pages to be dirtied.
It has been reported that with more than one queue pair, and
with a relatively low packet rate (1Mpps), the live migration
never converges until the flow is stopped.
While a better solution is found, it is better to reset to the
old behaviour, i.e. using atomic operation for dirty pages
logging.

There is currently no check done on the length when translating
guest addresses into host virtual addresses. Also, there is no
guanrantee that the guest addresses range is contiguous in
the host virtual address space.
This patch prepares vhost_iova_to_vva() and its callers to
return and check the mapped size. If the mapped size is smaller
than the requested size, the caller handle it as an error.

This patch aims at fixing a migration performance regression
faced since atomic operation is used to log pages as dirty when
doing live migration.
Instead of setting a single bit by doing an atomic read-modify-write
operation to log a page as dirty, this patch write 0xFF to the
corresponding byte, and so logs 8 page as dirty.
The advantage is that it avoids concurrent atomic operations by
multiple PMD threads, the drawback is that some clean pages are
marked as dirty and so are transferred twice.

The librte_vhost API is used in two ways:
1. As a vhost net device backend via rte_vhost_enqueue/dequeue_burst().
2. As a library for implementing vhost device backends.
There is no distinction between the two at the API level or in the
librte_vhost implementation. For example, device state is kept in
"struct virtio_net" regardless of whether this is actually a net device
backend or whether the built-in virtio_net.c driver is in use.
The virtio_net.c driver should be a librte_vhost API client just like
the vhost-scsi code and have no special access to vhost.h internals.
Unfortunately, fixing this requires significant librte_vhost API
changes.
This patch takes a different approach: keep the librte_vhost API
unchanged but track whether the built-in virtio_net.c driver is in use.
See the next patch for a bug fix that requires knowledge of whether
virtio_net.c is in use.

When performing live migration or memory hot-plugging,
the changes to the device and vrings made by message handler
done independently from vring usage by PMD threads.
This causes for example segfaults during live-migration
with MQ enable, but in general virtually any request
sent by qemu changing the state of device can cause
problems.
These patches fixes all above issues by adding a spinlock
to every vring and requiring message handler to start operation
only after ensuring that all PMD threads related to the device
are out of critical section accessing the vring data.
Each vring has its own lock in order to not create contention
between PMD threads of different vrings and to prevent
performance degradation by scaling queue pair number.
