The original commit will be cherry-picked to v16.11 stable release,
as a fix commit of it, this commit should also be picked. So,

Note that you should invoke rte_vhost_driver_unregister() before
removing "internal" from the list, otherwise you might get an error
like following from destory_device() callback (which will try to
find the "internal" again).

    PMD: Invalid interface name: /tmp/vhost-net

Fixed and applied to dpdk-next-virtio.
