[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: Fix retrieval of numa information in PMD

After some testing, it was found that retrieving numa information
about a vhost device via a call to get_mempolicy is more
accurate when performed during the new_device callback versus
the vring_state_changed callback, in particular upon initial boot
of the VM.  Performing this check during new_device is also
potentially more efficient as this callback is only triggered once
during device initialisation, compared with vring_state_changed
which may be called multiple times depending on the number of
queues assigned to the device.

Reorganise the code to perform this check and assign the correct
socket_id to the device during the new_device callback.
