The problem is new_device has already returned before that point because
find_internal_resource failed.

I suggest adding a cookie parameter to rte_vhost_driver_register and
passing the cookie to each of the vhost_ops. The PMD can use pmd_internals
for the cookie and the whole internal_list can go away.

ps. Could you push git branches somewhere for these larger vhost patch
series? That would make it a lot easier to test than getting patches
individually from patchwork.
