This reverts commit db8a3772e3.
Motivation : this is breaking vhost-user with DPDK as reported in [0].
Received unexpected msg type. Expected 22 received 40

Fail to update device iotlb

vhost VQ 0 ring restore failed: -71: Protocol error (71)
unable to start vhost net: 71: falling back on userspace virtio
The failing sequence that leads to the first error is :
- QEMU sends a VHOST_USER_GET_STATUS (40) request to DPDK on the master
socket
- QEMU starts a nested event loop in order to wait for the
VHOST_USER_GET_STATUS response and to be able to process messages from
the slave channel
- DPDK sends a couple of legitimate IOTLB miss messages on the slave
channel
- QEMU processes each IOTLB request and sends VHOST_USER_IOTLB_MSG (22)
updates on the master socket
- QEMU assumes to receive a response for the latest VHOST_USER_IOTLB_MSG
but it gets the response for the VHOST_USER_GET_STATUS instead
The subsequent errors have the same root cause : the nested event loop
breaks the order by design. It lures QEMU to expect responses to the
latest message sent on the master socket to arrive first.
Since this was only needed for DAX enablement which is still not merged
upstream, just drop the code for now. A working solution will have to
be merged later on. Likely protect the master socket with a mutex
and service the slave channel with a separate thread, as discussed with
Maxime in the mail thread below.
