[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 03/19] vhost: clarify reply-ack in case a reply was already sent

For messages that require a reply, a second ack should not be
sent when reply-ack protocol feature is negotiated, even if
the corresponding flag is set in the message.

The code is compliant with the spec but it isn't clear it is,
so this patch adds a comment to make it explicit.
