  To: dev, chenbox, yux.jiang; +Cc: Maxime Coquelin, stable

In order to avoid breaking Vhost-user live-migration, we want the
rte_vhost_driver_set_max_queue_num API to only be effective with
VDUSE.

Furthermore, this API is only really needed for VDUSE where the
device number of queues is defined by the backend. For Vhost-user,
this is defined by the frontend (e.g. QEMU), so the advantages of
restricting more the maximum number of queue pairs is limited to
a small memory gain (a handful of pointers).

Fixes: 4aa1f88ac13d ("vhost: add API to set max queue pairs")
