[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/vhost: fix segfault when creating vdev dynamically

[Junjie Chen <junjie.j.chen@intel.com>]

when creating vdev dynamically, vhost pmd driver start directly without
checking TX/RX queues ready or not, and thus cause segmentation fault when
vhost library accessing queues. This patch add flag to check whether queues
setup or not, and add driver start call into dev_start to allow user start
it after setting up queue.

Fixes: aed0b12930b33("net/vhost: fix socket file deleted on stop")
