[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 14/19] vhost: avoid useless VhostUserMemory copy

[Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com>]

The VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE payload is copied when handled,
whereas it could directly be referenced.

This is not very important, but next, we'll need to update the
payload and send it back to Qemu.
