[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] net/virtio-user: fix not working with vhost kernel

[Jianfeng Tan]

After reset owner in below patch, we failed to set owner before
sending further vhost messages. It is OK with vhost user implemented
DPDK/VPP/Contrail, but it sees "Operation not permitted" error when
used with vhost kernel.

We fix this by setting owner every time the device is started.
