[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] vhost: retranslate vring addr when memory table changes

[ Backported from upstream commit d5022533c20aed365d513663806a999459037015 ]

When the vhost-user master sends memory updates using
VHOST_USER_SET_MEM request, the user backends unmap and then
mmap again the memory regions in its address space.

If the ring addresses have already been translated, it needs to
be translated again as they point to unmapped memory.

Hi Yongseok,

This patch is already in upstream master since v18.05, but wasn't
backported to stable because it initially fixed a bug in a new
feature.

I have been reported of a crash in the vhost-user library that
this patch fixes, so we would need to backport this patch to
v17.11 LTS.

Thanks,
Maxime
