That looks very wrong, as:
1. The apps want to receive this notification. It looks like breaking
existing apps in order to support the experimental async datapath. E.g.
OVS needs it to start polling the queues when protocol features is not
negotiated.

2. The fix in your case seems to indicate that your app's
vring_state_changed callback called rte_vhost_async_channel_register.
And your fix consists in no more calling the callback, and so no more
calling rte_vhost_async_channel_register?
