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

[sunwenjie]

    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. Unlock the
    vhost_user.mutexif fdset_try_del fail and relock it when retry.
