It needs a fixes tag.

How does it help?
What does prevent allow_queuing to become zero between the check and the
call to rte_vhost_get_monitor_addr?

I think you need to implement the same logic as in eth_vhost_rx(), i.e.
check allow_queueing, set while_queueing, check allow_queueing, do your
stuff and clear while_queuing.
