[dpdk-stable] [16.11 LTS PATCH] vhost: fix vring requests validation broken if no FD

[Maxime Coquelin]

From: Zhike Wang <wangzk320 at 163.com>

When VHOST_USER_VRING_NOFD_MASK is set, the fd_num is 0,
so validate_msg_fds() will return error. In this case,
the negotiation of vring message between vhost user front end and
back end would fail, and as a result, vhost user link could NOT be up.

How to reproduce:
1.Run dpdk testpmd insides VM, which locates at host with ovs+dpdk.
2.Notice that inside ovs there are endless logs regarding failure to
handle VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_CALL, and link of vm could NOT be up.
