[dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to stable release 19.11.6

[Fu, Patrick]

Hi Luca,

For this patch:
fb4b7a131c  Patrick Fu       vhost: fix guest/host physical address conversion

no need backport as the patch is target to fix a b-tree search bug, which is not in the 19.11 stable branch.

Thanks,

Patrick
