rte_vhost: unaffinitize the thread inside rte_vhost API function

We used to call rte_vhost_driver_start() under
spdk_call_unaffinitized() because that function could
spawn a new pthread and we didn't want to to be pinned
to the one single cpu of the current SPDK reactor.

New DPDK versions (>= 19.05) already unaffinitize the
pthread by themselves, so our spdk_call_unaffinitized()
was only required for the legacy, internal rte_vhost fork
in SPDK. To clean up SPDK code, move the un-affinitization
down to the rte_vhost fork.
