[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 16.11] vhost-user: fix false negative in handling user messages

[Luca Boccassi]

vhost_user_msg_handler checks an accumulated return code before
returning, and prints an error and returns -1 if it's non-zero.
But some of the possible user messages cannot fail and thus do not
set the variable, which might retain a previously set and unrelated
value, causing unnecessary failures and error messages.

Reset the return code before use.

Fixes: 0ce9e73d1e8d ("vhost-user: drop connection on message handling failures")

Found this issue when testing with the Vyatta stuff, "ret" is set at
the beginning of the function and never reset when the message is for example
VHOST_USER_GET_FEATURES so there's a flurry of errors.
