[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] vhost: fix deadlock when vhost unregister

When rte_vhost_driver_unregister  delete the connection fd,
fdset_try_del will always try and donot release the
vhostuser.mutex if the fd is busy, but the fdset_event_dispatch
will set the  fd to busy and call vhost_user_msg_handler to get
vhostuser.mutex, which will  cause deadlock. Unlock the
vhost_user.mutexif fdset_try_del fail and relock it when retry.

Fixes: 8b4b949144b8 ("vhost: fix dead lock on closing in server mode")
