The rte_vhost_driver_unregister() and vhost_user_read_cb() can be
called at the same time by 2 threads. reconn may be added back to
reconn_list by vhost_user_read_cb() after rte_vhost_driver_unregister()
removed from reconn_list. Then rte_vhost_driver_unregister free vsocket,
cause vhost_user_client_reconnect access invalid vsocket memory.

Timeline is as below:
rte_vhost_driver_unregister thread excute vhost_user_remove_reconnect
vhost_user_read_cb thread excute vhost_user_start_client add reconn to reconn_list
vhost_user_read_cb thread free conn
rte_vhost_driver_unregister thread cannot find conn, then excute vhost_user_socket_mem_free
vhost_user_client_reconnect access invalid mem, crash
