[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] examples/vhost: fix use-after-free on drain vhost

[Wenwu Ma <wenwux.ma@intel.com>]

When a vdev is removed in destroy_device function,
the corresponding vhost TX buffer will also be freed,
but the vhost TX buffer may still be used in the
drain_vhost function, which will cause an error of
heap-use-after-free. Therefore, before accessing
vhost TX buffer, we need to check whether the vdev
has been removed, if so, let's skip this vdev.
