Without this, we will get below build error:

lib/librte_vhost/vhost.c: In function ‘vhost_enable_notify_split’:
lib/librte_vhost/vhost.h:656:4: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
  (*(volatile uint16_t*)&(vr)->used->ring[(vr)->size])
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/librte_vhost/vhost.c:659:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘vhost_avail_event’
    vhost_avail_event(vq) = vq->last_avail_idx;
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
