[PATCH] vdpa/sfc: handle sync issue between qemu and vhost-user

From: Abhimanyu Saini <absaini at amd.com>

When DPDK app is running in the VF, it sometimes rings the doorbell
before dev_config has had a chance to complete and hence it misses
the event. As workaround, ring the doorbell when vDPA reports the
notify_area to QEMU.

Fixes: 5e7596ba7cb3 ("vdpa/sfc: introduce Xilinx vDPA driver")
