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.
