vhost: fix crash caused by accessing a freed vsocket

When a vhost user message handling error in the event dispatch thread,
vsocket reconn is added to the reconnection list of the reconnection
thread.
Since the reconnection, event dispatching and app configuration thread
do not have common thread protection restrictions, the app config
thread freed vsocket in the rte_vhost_driver_unregister process,
but vsocket reconn can still exist in the reconn_list through this
mechanism.
Then in the reconnection thread, the vsocket is connected again and
conn is added to the dispatch thread.
Finally, the vsocket that has been freed by rte_vhost_driver_unregister
is accessed again in the event dispatch thread, resulting in a
use-after-free error.

This patch adds a vhost threads read-write lock to restrict
reconnection, event dispatching and app configuration threads.
When the vhost driver unregisters, it exclusively holds the lock to
safely free the vsocket.
