[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhostuser: fix deadlock when vhost unregister

 When rte_vhost_driver_unregister  delete the connection fd, fdset_try_del will
 always try and donot release the  vhostuser.mutex if the fd is busy, but the
 fdset_event_dispatch will set the  fd to busy and call vhost_user_msg_handler
 to get vhostuser.mutex, which will  cause deadlock.

To fix it:
    Unlock the vhost_user.mutex if fdset_try_del fail and relock it when
    retry.
