[PATCH] vmbus: get current rte_vmbus_bus struct

[Abdelfattah Chehab]

Hi All,
FOREACH_DEVICE_ON_VMBUS needs rte_vmbus_bus to work on
If static link to libdpdk.a : no issues
If dynamic link to *.so: linker issue, global variable not found.

I suggest this patch to get a current rte_vmbus_bus struct:
Thanks.
