Firstly, it's V2. So, don't forget to add version number and link it to 
the previous version next time.

Applied to dpdk-next-virtio, with the rebase on top of my vhost ABI/API
changes.

FYI, I also renamed the title a bit to "remove concurrent enqueue" as
Thomas mentioned in the last version, that it's confusing to say "remove
lockless" here, since we are actually removing the lock.

Thanks.
