[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] examples/vhost: workaround qemu abort

[Marvin Liu]

Current qemu vhost net ring start has a dependency on feature bit
VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES. Without this feature, vhost ring can't
enabled and ioevent fd won't be deleted after vhost device stop. That
will cause qemu abort when reloading driver. Work around qemu issues by
enabling feature bit in vhost user backend.
