The goal is to remove legacy event messages from vhost.
The new message passing API accepts thread objects instead
of lcore numbers and poll groups are meant to simplify
the transition.
Eventually we'd like vhost to spawn its own threads and
do message passing only within those, but SPDK libraries
can't spawn their own threads just yet. As a stopgap, vhost
will now maintain a list of all available threads (in form
of "poll groups" to mimic nvmf) and will start pollers on
them using its own round robin scheduler.
This patch only adds the poll groups list, it doesn't
change any existing functionality.
