[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/ifc: do not notify before HW ready

[Xiao Wang <xiao.w.wang@intel.com>]

If the device is not clearly reset by the previous driver and holds
some invalid ring addr, and the relay thread kicks it before HW is
properly re-configured, a bad DMA request may happen.

Besides, the notify_addr which is used by the relay thread is set in
the vdpa_ifcvf_start function, if a kick relay happens before
vdpa_ifcvf_start finishes, a null addr is accessed.

Fixes: a3f8150eac6d ("net/ifcvf: add ifcvf vDPA driver")
