[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: fix double free on shutdown

[Tomasz Kulasek]

The vhost connection can be closed concurrently from 2 places:
 * the connection thread itself
 * rte_vhost_driver_unregister

The connection thread will terminate the connection if any recv error
occurred. The unregister function will terminate the connection together
with the thread. However, there is no sychronization between those two.
The connection thread runs in the background without any mutex.

The rte_vhost_driver_unregister now signals the connection thread
to terminate itself and waits until it's killed.
