[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] lib/librte_vhost: move fdset_del out of conn_mutex

[zhike wang <wangzhike@jd.com>]

From: wang zhike <wangzhike@jd.com>

v2:
* Move fdset_del before conn destroy.
* Fix coding style.

This patch fixes below race condition:
1. one thread calls: rte_vhost_driver_unregister->lock conn_mutex
   ->fdset_del->loop to check fd.busy.
2. another thread calls fdset_event_dispatch, and the busy flag is
   changed AFTER handling on the fd, i.e, rcb(). However, the rcb,
   such as vhost_user_read_cb() would try to retrieve the conn_mutex.

So issue is that the 1st thread will loop check the flag while holding
the mutex, while the 2nd thread would be blocked by mutex and can not
change the flag. Then dead lock is observed.
