[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix compilation issue with KNI_VHOST enabled

[Pablo de Lara]

Fix for the following error, on kernels 4.2.0 or higher,
when KNI_VHOST is enabled:

  CC [M]  lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.o
          lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c: In function ‘kni_vhost_backend_init’:
          lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c:669:38: error: too few arguments to function ‘sk_alloc’
  if (!(q = (struct kni_vhost_queue *)sk_alloc(
                                      ^
In file included from lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c:27:0:
/usr/src/kernels/4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64/include/net/sock.h:1515:14: note: declared here
 struct sock *sk_alloc(struct net *net, int family, gfp_t priority,
              ^
This change in the kernel was added in the following commit:

Linux: 11aa9c28 ("net: Pass kern from net_proto_family.create to sk_alloc")
