If the vhost-user application (e.g. OVS) deletes the vhost-user
port while Qemu sends a vhost-user request, a deadlock can
happen if the request handler tries to acquire vhost-user's
global mutex, which is also locked by the vhost-user port
deletion API (rte_vhost_driver_unregister).
This patch prevents the deadlock by making
rte_vhost_driver_unregister() to release the mutex and try
again if a request is being handled to give a chance to
the request handler to complete.
Fixes: 8b4b949144 ("vhost: fix dead lock on closing in server mode")
Fixes: 5fbb3941da ("vhost: introduce driver features related APIs")
