The rte_vhost_poll_enqueue_completed() needs to be
called in time to notify the guest of completed packets and
avoid packet loss.

+* Async enqueue API usage
+
+  In async enqueue path, rte_vhost_poll_enqueue_completed() needs to be
+  called in time to notify the guest of DMA copy completed packets.
+  Moreover, calling rte_vhost_submit_enqueue_burst() all the time but
+  not poll completed will cause the DMA ring to be full, which will
+  result in packet loss eventually.
