As the vhost sample is broken by the following commit,  
  commit 08b563ffb19d8baf59dd84200f25bc85031d18a7

  mbuf: replace data pointer by an offset

It leads to segment fault error in vhost when binding a virtio
device MAC address to its corresponding VMDq pool by executing
command line 'start tx-first' in test-pmd on guest.

This patch fixes that issue.
