[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/1] doc: clarify VFIO doc for built-in modules

[Anatoly Burakov <anatoly.burakov@intel.com>]

Currently, the documentation only contains instructions for enabling
SRIOV support for VFIO compiled as a module, but doesn't have any
instructions on how to do the same for cases where VFIO is built-in.
Add these instructions.
