[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 1/6] vhost: fix missing memory table NUMA realloc

When the guest allocates virtqueues on a different NUMA node
than the one the Vhost metadata are allocated, both the Vhost
device struct and the virtqueues struct are reallocated.

However, reallocating the Vhost memory table was missing, which
likely causes iat least one cross-NUMA accesses for every burst
of packets.

This patch reallocates this table on the same NUMA node as the
other metadata.
