Nice catch!

Here are few minor stuff you might need pay attention to for future
contribution:

- a fix patch needs a fixline, like following

  Fixes: 45ca9c6f7bc6 ("vhost: get rid of linked list for devices")

- the prefix for vhost lib is "vhost: ". And FYI, for PMD drivers, it's
  'net/PMD_NAME', say 'net/virtio'.


For you convenience, I have fixed the two while applying. And thanks
for the fix.

Applied to dpdk-next-virtio.
