[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: Check descriptor number for vector Rx

[Ouyang Changchun <changchun.ouyang@intel.com>]

For zero copy, it need check whether RX descriptor num meets the 
least requirement when using vector PMD Rx function, and give user 
more hints if it fails to meet the least requirement.
