[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] vhost: dequeue zero copy with linear buffers

Removed the linear buffer and zero_copy compatibility restriction.

Applications that requires packets contained in a single buffer
will enable linear buffer in vhost library. This restriction
is not allowing zero_copy mode for such cases.
