[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/2] net/vhost: create datagram sockets immediately

If you create a vhost server device, it doesn't create the actual datagram
socket until you call .dev_start().  If you call .dev_stop() is also
deletes those sockets.  For QEMU clients, this is a problem since QEMU
doesn't know how to re-attach to datagram sockets that have gone away.

To work around this, register and unregister the datagram sockets during
device creation and removal.

Fixes: ee584e9710b9 ("vhost: add driver on top of the library")
