[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] vhost: fix error code check when creating pthread

[Olivier Matz]

On error, pthread_create() returns a positive number (errno).
Fix the test on the return value.

Fixes: af1475918124 ("vhost: introduce API to start a specific driver")
Fixes: e623e0c6d8a5 ("vhost: add reconnect ability")
