There is a flaw here, but it seems it was already there, nothing coming for this
patch.

There is a RTE_KERNELDIR variable, to compile DPDK with a given kernel, instead
of default one. I am using this a lot for kni and igb_uio.

Default RTE_KERNELDIR is:
RTE_KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

For vfio case, it is not taking this variable into account and always using the
default one, so RTE_KERNELDIR is broken here.
