[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 10/10] vhost: add vhost-user-blk example which support inflight

[Jin Yu <jin.yu@intel.com>]

A vhost-user-blk example that support inflight feature. It uses the
new APIs that introduced in the first patch, so It can show how there
APIs work to support inflight feature.

Signed-off-by: Jin Yu <jin.yu@intel.com>
---
V1 - add the case.
V2 - add the rte_vhost prefix.
V3 - add packed ring support
