[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] vhost: support inflight share memory protocol feature

[Li Lin <chuckylinchuckylin@gmail.com>]

From: Li Lin <lilin24@baidu.com>

This patch introduces two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD
and VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD to support transferring a shared
buffer between qemu and backend.

Firstly, qemu uses VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD to get the
shared buffer from backend. Then qemu should send it back
through VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD each time we start vhost-user.

This shared buffer is used to process inflight I/O when backend
reconnect.

v2 - add set&clr inflight desc functions
v3 - simplified some functions implementation
v4 - rework some data structures according to qemu doc
