[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 5/8] virtio: fix deadloop due to reading virtio_net_config incorrectly

From: Changchun Ouyang <changchun.ouyang at intel.com>

The old code adjusts the config bytes we want to read depending on
what kind of features we have, but we later cast the entire buf we
read with "struct virtio_net_config", which is obviously wrong.

The wrong config reading results to a dead loop at virtio_send_command()
while starting testpmd.

The right way to go is to read related config bytes when corresponding
feature is set, which is exactly what this patch does.

Fixes: 823ad647950a ("virtio: support multiple queues")
