Threads were assigned to sessions inside
vhost_session_send_event() so far, but even the doxygen
comments say that sessions would be assigned to the thread
which called vhost_session_start_done(). Currently, Vhost
uses only vhost_session_send_event() to schedule starting
the session on some thread, so the code ends up working.
We're about to remove vhost_session_send_event(), so move
the thread (poll group) assignment to start_done().
While here, publish the vhost_poll_group struct definition
via vhost_internal.h. As a replacement for
vhost_session_send_event() we would like to use
spdk_thread_send_msg() which a requires a thread object -
one of the struct fields inside vhost_poll_group.
The code for starting a session could look as follows:
pg = vhost_get_poll_group(cpumask);
spdk_thread_send_msg(pg->thread, cb);
...
cb:
// start_pollers
vhost_session_start_done(0);
