[dpdk-dev] [RFC] vhost: support raising device error

[Xueming Li]

According to virtio spec, The device SHOULD set DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET when
it enters an error state that a reset is needed. If DRIVER_OK is set,
after it sets DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET, the device MUST send a device
configuration change notification to the driver.

This patch introduces new api to raise vDPA hardware error and escalates
configuration change to vhost via client message
VHOST_USER_SLAVE_CONFIG_CHANGE_MSG.

The vhost should check DRIVER_OK and decide whether to notify driver.
