[dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to LTS release 16.11.7

[Chen, Junjie J]

The following two patches should be not applicable to 16.11 LTS due to lots of rebase work needed.

30a701a53  Junjie Chen      net/vhost: fix crash when creating vdev dynamically
e6722dee5  Junjie Chen      net/vhost: fix invalid state

Cheers
JJ

> It'd be great if you could do that in one or two weeks. Also, please add a

> Example:
> http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=16.07&id=c4831394c7d1944d
> 8ec27d52c22997f20d19718e

> Also please mention the target LTS in the subject line, as we have more than

> 
>     [PATCH 16.11] foo/bar: fix baz
> 
> With git send-email, this can be achieved by appending the parameter:
> 
>     --subject-prefix='16.11'
> 
> Please let me know if you have any comments, say, need more time, or it's
> worthless to packport it. And please send it to "stable at dpdk.org", but not
> "dev at dpdk.org".
