[PATCH v5] examples/vm_power_manager: use safe version of list iterator

From: Hamza Khan <hamza.khan at intel.com>

Currently, when vm_power_manager exits, we are using a LIST_FOREACH
macro to iterate over VM info structures while freeing them. This
leads to use-after-free error. To address this, replace all usages of
LIST_* with TAILQ_* macros, and use the RTE_TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE macro
to iterate and delete VM info structures.

Fixes: e8ae9b662506 ("examples/vm_power: channel manager and monitor in host")
