[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: virtio lsc hint

[Zhiyong Yang]

Virtio PMD has already the ability to support link status change(lsc),
but qemu 2.7.0 introduce the capability to detect vhost user
disconnection. So, virtio PMD which works with qemu 2.7.0 and above
can receive lsc when vhost user disconnects. The patch updates doc to
let user know that.
