[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] vhost: fix interrupt suppression for the split ring

[Jiayu Hu]

The VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX feature of split ring might
be broken, as the value of signalled_used is unpredictable
after live migration or start up. This patch fixes it by
using signalled_used_valid.

In addition, this patch makes the VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX
implementation of split ring match kernel backend to suppress
more interrupts.

Fixes: e37ff954405a ("vhost: support virtqueue interrupt/notification suppression")
