[Xueming(Steven) Li]

>From internal discussion, we found a misuse of the vector parameter in devx_query_eqn
Function, no cpu id is required, I'll come up with another version.

> 
> With latest rte api, vdpa example failed on vq setup, the api to get event queue
> of specified core failed.
> 
> The api to get event queue needs core id as input, but after commit
> 67ae5936c4fc36 ("eal: fix lcore accessors for non-EAL threads"), code of "vhost-
> event" thread to get current core returns -1, an invalid core id.
> 
> As vhost thread created on same core of eal master core, this patch uses
> master core ID as a workaround.
