  Vhost driver setup is delayed at eth_dev configuration
in order to be able to set it from a secondary process.

Fixes: 4852aa8f6e21 (drivers/net: enable hotplug on secondary process)

Hi Itsuro/Maxime,

Below patch (commit id:3d01b759d2679c216725689eabe44147d1737326)blocked vhost/virtio basic test: If re-config vhost port,testpmd will launch failed.

Reproduce steps:

./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -l 2-4 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024,1024  --legacy-mem --file-prefix=vhost --vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=vhost-net,queues=1,client=0' --no-pci -- -i --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
    testpmd>set fwd csum
    testpmd>stop
    testpmd>port stop 0
    testpmd>csum set tcp sw 0
    testpmd>port start 0

VHOST_CONFIG: vhost-user server: socket created, fd: 26
VHOST_CONFIG: failed to bind to vhost-net: Address already in use; remove it and try again
Failed to start driver for vhost-net
Port0 dev_configure = -1
Fail to configure port 0

BR,
Yinan

Thanks Yinan for reporting the issue.

I'm working on a fix, which should be ready today:
1. Don't do vhost setup if device is already in the list
2. Fix the error path in setup function.
