Olivier Matz fa5054c4bb vhost: fix external mbuf creation
In virtio_dev_extbuf_alloc(), the shinfo structure used to store
the reference counter and the free callback of the external buffer
is by default stored inside the mbuf data.

This is wrong because the mbuf (and its data) can be freed before
the external buffer, for instance in the following situation:

  pkt2 = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(mp);
  rte_pktmbuf_attach(pkt2, pkt);
  rte_pktmbuf_free(pkt);

After this, pkt is freed, but it still contains shinfo, which is
referenced by pkt2.

Fix this by always storing the shinfo beside the external buffer.
